When the bow is seen in the clouds

...then I will remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature that is on the earth. Revered words from Genesis.
I have been nursing a cold all week-end and have become tired of cold symptoms and over-the-counter meds to treat those symptoms. The day grew blacker and blacker as storms moved upon us in the sky. But it was a curious afternoon with fleeting fits of sleet or hail and rain and stubborn sunlight refusing to be eradicated. I was glad to be driving home after a lackluster day of work. And then suddenly, I turned a corner and saw upon the horizon TRIPLE rainbows, and the first one was absolutely the widest rainbow I think I've ever seen in my life. At first I could only see two rainbows because the first one was so wide, but within a second or two I realized there were actually three! I wanted to stop and wonder, but unfortunately I was on a busy and dangerous street, so the best I could do is drive slowly to extend the wonder.
Wonder is uplifting!
