Rainbows
This morning, we had one of those rare events when it pours rain while the sun still shines. I'm certain that if I'd gone outside I'd have seen a rainbow gracing the sky. I did not, and wish I had. Rainbows may not be rare, but it's rare enough that not everyone sees them, and they are of the class of things that can still make even the most jaded still believe in something pretty, simple yet complex, and magical. It's been many years since I've seen one, and, like the thick foggy days of my youth, I miss them.
