In a Chinese province there had been no rain. Afraid of losing their crops, a delegation was sent to bring an aging rainmaker to the village. The old man agreed and came with the delegation to the town. “I need,” he said, “to be alone. A small cottage will do. And I require noting to eat for three days. Just some water.”
The people did as he requested. Three days later, rain fell from the sky filling the deep, dry crevices of the earth. Curious, the people asked the rainmaker how he did it. “It is simple,” he answered, “I had three days to put myself in order. Then the world would be in order and rain would come.”
Do not complain that the world in in disorder. Begin with you. All will be well.
