Rainbows

I wanted to write about rainbows today.

I have this thing, I see them everywhere...they are really there, I'm not just saying that or going crazy. I liken it to a wink from God or a kiss on the cheek. It is like He's saying "I remember you..."

The new thing I'm noticing is a piece of a rainbow in the hazy clouds at sunrise or set. And then there are the ones that show up in spectrum from reflected light off of other things in the rear-view mirror on the night view or a watch crystal, things like that.

Rainbows are cool. They are visible and invisible light; if we could see the whole thing how much cooler would that be? I love that it is so much more extensive than what we can comprehend or see or understand. A great metaphor for, well, almost anything amazing.

I've seen some AMAZING shows in the rainbow arena. There was one during a passing thunderstorm while the sun was setting, one that appeared in all pinks at the absolute last possible minute and was nearly round--about twice as tall as most, there was the daily parade in Hawaii, and the doubles--love the doubles! The one above is from a plane window on the way to see Don Miller in Portland.  (Not Photoshop-ed.)

So be on the look out, God's trying to wink at you. :)
