The same sun that blesses us,
and makes the plants grow,
also bears down on Canada
with suffocating heat.
The same rain that the dry lands
cry out for,
also brings boulders
tumbling down the riverbed
and crashing into houses.
Living God, in your complicated
and beautiful world,
help us be gentle
with the Goldilocks
atmosphere,
and understand it more.
