Weekly Wide-Awake: A Two Rainbow Week
“They sang the words in unison, yet somehow created a web of sounds with their voices. It was like hearing a piece of fabric woven with all the colors of a rainbow. I did not know that such beauty could be formed by the human mouth. I had never heard harmony before.” ― Anita Diamant, The Red Tent
This has been an incredible week, stacked on top of incredible week, after incredible week, after incredible week. The falling apart and coming together of life feels like it is stuck in the falling apart part. I guess that is how it all works. There would be no coming together if we never fell apart. In the midst of it all, I put on my running shoes and got out the door and ran 20.5 miles. I saw faint rainbows two days in a row. Framed by dark gray clouds, I really had to look to find them. They offered motivation to my body. They offered beauty to my world. They offered hope to my spirit. They were a blessing I was open to receive. Receiving blessings feels particularly important right now.
I have found two rainbows this week. I have thought about butterflies. I have thought about imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. I have thought about quilts. I have thought about turning weapons in to flowers. I have thought about the pain of depression. I have thought about stepping to others. It all seems to fit together. We truly find what we seek.
