The story is told of a young man who went to work for a rancher.
The first day of work the rancher asked the man, “Can you sleep when the wind blows?”
The young man was confused and didn’t know what the rancher meant.
That night a severe storm woke up the young man and he jumped frantically out of bed, afraid that the cows would be lost in the storm.
He ran outside, only to find that the cows were safe and warm inside the secure barn.
The rancher had taken care of them before retiring for the night.
As he went back inside, the man saw the rancher sleeping soundly. He then knew the meaning of the question the rancher had asked.
Can you sleep when the wind blows?
I think the meaning here is “Take care of things before there is a problem”. So many today wait for the problem and then need to fix or repair. Prevention really is the best Medicine!!
