*****************
The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath:
(Shakespeare)
**********************
Hello Linda
****************
I sat out on the porch this evening in the gentle rain. High
in the sky the lightening was flashing. Unconcerned with them thunder rumbled
distantly. The rain felt good on my shoulders and head. There were no voices
out there. People were inside, at home, with each other, safely away from the
gentle storm.
But what does a loner do in such a storm? Is it really safe
to go inside to be by myself. Wouldn't it be better to stay outside safely away
from myself, to let the rain cleanse me and protect me from the eternally
unfinished business of my life?
I sat in the rain thinking about how deeply we must dig to
really know ourselves, uncovering ancient artifacts of tests not passed,
ignorant mistakes, forsaken loves, forlorn losses. Why do we keep on living
when fumbling through such ruins?
The birds and bugs don't mind the cleansing rain. They have
no regrets. The people in their homes with rights and wrongs can change the
subject if necessary. But what does the loner do?
Two of the most important words we will ever speak are
"forgive me." I will forgive myself. I will try. Tonight I was cleansed by
the gentle rain of mercy. I am the place beneath. I will have mercy on
myself. I will try again.

Forgiveness repairs the future, which is where all possibilities are assembled, I guess because there's more room for them. A good lesson for me, for everybody. Thanks, DB.
A beautiful post and - as a loner - I can fully relate to it.
Life is indeed an endless fumble through the ruins - - but we can always be greatful for the cleansing rains that give us hope and mercy.

If you want to use your steam iron as a dry iron just empty the iron water or set the iron to its dry heat environment. Many people press fabrics with a steam iron because steam heat changes the shape of the fabric threads faster than dry heat. However, some fabrics are made from fibers which break up when exposed to steam. Others may transfer some of their color and lose colour.
