So is fish falling from the sky the most impossible thing that could ever happen? It is pretty damn close. I mean really what are the chances of you walking down your own road, as you always do and a half dead hake falls on your new shoes?
As impossible and unrealistic as it sounded to me I thought I would have a look and see if this has ever occured.
What I found was interesting. In 2000 there was literally a rain fall of fish over a farming community in Ethopia. Although the event scared the local farmers, who were all of strong Christian faith, members of the community questioned the explanation.
Scientists explain 'animal rain' such as this as the result of tornadoes, severe storms and water spouts, but then why are there no other elements of the environment raining down? Such as the frogs, twigs and small organisms that were with the fish before it was so unexpectedly plucked from it's environment?
Where am I going with this? That although we think that we know what to expect from life fish rain from the sky, not always literally, but the impossible can and does happen and when you expect it the least.
Always be prepared- had those Ethopian farmers known what was coming they could have seized the oppertunity and collected fish for their family. Does this sound like your life? Missing out on things beacause you didnt see them coming?
And finally- never estimate the world we live in. You might just walk down your own road today and something you didnt expect might just be in your path- hopefully it is better than a fish.
Must be all the fish in the sea the other ladies didn't want. :-)
