Yesterday afternoon, Tom and I were driving home from Canandaigua, after attending a beautiful but emotional memorial service in the auditorium of the VA that honored my father among other veterans who passed recently, Gray clouds dominated the sky and gentle rain was falling, when suddenly, the sun peeked out and a rainbow appeared in the eastern sky, arching right through the dreary mist. The colors gradually became more intense, and as we turned, the clouds parted and the rainbow seemed to dominate the sky, vivid and triumphant.
To me, this was a sign, that there will always be beauty, goodness and hope, if we have eyes to see and hearts to appreciate what is right in front of us. Sorrow and dark nights of the soul will always give way to hope and healing when we have faith.
Today, I breathe deeply, say a prayer of thanks, and open my eyes so that I don't miss a single beautiful moment.
