Rain, rain, come and play.

I don’t think I ever actually knew the correct steps/chants for the rain dance. My sisters and I used to go outside and dance in circles singing God knows what. I guess that’s why we never made it rain…
Anyway, one of these days I would like to learn the traditional Native American rain dance. Apparently there are many tribes that still perform the ritual today. I just think it would be such a fun experience to participate in a real rain dance; to get all dressed up and learn the zig zag patterns of the dance.
I don’t think there are many people in the world who actually believe in a human dance having the power to make it rain, but then again, I don’t think there are many people who know the correct dance.

a rain dance isnt for it to rain or stop raining
…when we rain dance its meant to ask God to watch over (the person dancing and/or whoever they are dancing for..keeping them in mind) their health and well being. Kinda like praying.
