You pose the question whether you created similar circumstances to T.S. Eliot, there is a sympathetic resonance in why we like what we like. Sometimes it comes out of an ancestral patterning or likeability, sometimes it links to familiarity - regardless of whether it is "good" or "bad". Until we clear unresolved stuff in us, it can repeat. A lot of our choices are subconscious out of what we are used to.
Patterns in nature repeat themselves as well. I was leant a book I kept for awhile. I didn't want to read. I finally read it so I could return it. I am also fascinated by water and now I am a land healer specializing in drought. A lot of LA's drought and contamination is linked to land use policies. The greatest source of PM 2.5 pollution is coming from Owens Valley. It used to have a lake. It was all guzzled up by a thirsty valley and LA population. The pumping of water over the Sierras was the largest use of electricity in California.
The book is called Water in Plain Sight by Judith Schwartz. It is a very lovely book.
We can bring rain. We can restore habitats. It begins with what is our relationship with nature? Are we a colonizing force, or are we co-creators honoring creation?
Thank you for reading! I grew up in that Valley that benefitted from stealing the Owens Valley water. Something in one of your writings resonated with me deeply when I was writing this newsletter, something about the coincidences between the weather and my own life's patterns that made it seem less coincidental. I'm trying to find the exact line.

I love T.S. Eliot. Thanks for sharing.
