Big hearty rain is pouring down outside through the early dark. I adore the rain. I am listening to it and Sami singer Wimme Saaris mesmerizing album Vaisto/Instinct, in which he sings yoiks of all sorts of things—Morning Coffee, the Meat Pot, Reindeer, The Grouse, The Shore, The Berry Mound. I find his voice evokes something very old, and very beautiful, in my heart. I am no expert, but the idea behind a yoik as far as I understand it is that the singer is evoking the thing sung of; that somehow it is living there in their voice. Often, there are no words, just this beautiful haunting guttural lilting sound. I think I will go and sing my own humble praise to this delicious falling rain, so needed here in California. Here, you may enjoy Wimme performing live... https://youtube/watch?v=42flDri-KFY
