THE SOUND BEFORE THE RAIN
Here in Bocas, rain seldom arrives silently.
You can hear it moving through the jungle before it reaches you—a growing rush across thousands of leaves.
The breeze shifts.
The far side of the bay disappears behind gray.
The surface of the water begins to change.
Before the first heavy drops reach the boat, the world has already told you what is coming.
If you are paying attention, there is time to close the hatches, bring things inside, and settle in.
The warning is not the storm.
It is a gift of time.
We sometimes treat every warning as something negative—as though noticing trouble means living in fear of it.
But awareness is not fear.
It is what allows us to act deliberately instead of merely reacting after events have taken control.
Paying attention will not prevent every storm. It will not spare us every hard conversation, loss, disappointment, or change.
That is not its promise.
Its promise is smaller and more useful:
We may have time to prepare.
Tonight, the rain is drumming against the boat. We cannot stop it, and we don’t need to.
We heard it coming.
Sometimes that is enough.
