When it rains look for rainbows

May 3, 2021

When it’s dark look for stars

Rainbows and stars coffee mug

It was dark at 4 this morning and the cloud cover was thick so I didn’t see any stars. At 7, it was raining and I didn’t see any rainbows.

But I looked.

Robert Fulghum, in his book “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten,” reminds us about one of the first words we ever learned — the biggest word of all — LOOK.

No stars this morning, but I saw the lights of a river barge glide by and twinkle through the trees. No rainbows either, but I did see a V of geese flying over the recently plowed field.

What will you see today when you look?

Happy Mugshot Monday!

Day 93/100
