This morning I poured myself a cup of coffee and stepped out on the deck for few moments of solitude. Looking at the sky while moving through the doorway I caught my breath. There above me was a rainbow that moved in a high arch between two points on the ground. It formed an exhilarating half circle. My camera couldn't catch the fulll scope of that blazing arch.
What surprised me the most is the wonder that accompanied that sight. It made me turn aside from my life to consider a magnificent spectacle. And for a brief moment, I was caught in the moment, and time stood still.
When I take the time to study something of the natural world, I am in wonder of all the ways in which the world displays its diversity and intricacy. Most of the time awe escapes our busy notice. It is only large sparkling moments that grasp our attention.
My coffee is forgotten for a brief moment and I sit, fixed in wonder.
