Bring on the rain

We've had our fair share of storms this spring in Texas.  Lots of rain, thunder, lightening and even hail.  Storms are a metaphor for life.  They come, they go, they're unpredictable and often unforgiving in the damage they leave in their path.

And yet, sometimes with the release of the storm, a rainbow emerges.

That rainbow reminds us that beauty, wonder and awe still exist.  The colors show us that when we're smart enough to look for it after the storm, miracles happen.

These photos are not of the best quality, although they reminded me after a particularly difficult ending with an employee today, life goes on.  Sometimes more beautiful and more peaceful than before.  The storms pass.  They always do.  The sunshine returns.

The sky changed from purple ...

to golden ...

and even a double rainbow appeared.
In fact I showed Ellie it was a FULL rainbow, rarely seen!
