On our way through the city to go pick up Keiyou’s belongings it started to rain just a bit and at first we were really worried because we’re diving up there in a pickup truck that isn’t as reliable as… well, anything. To top it off on the way back all her stuff will be in the truck bed.

About halfway through the city, it was raining in some places and sunny in some others and then suddenly we saw the beginnings of the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen. I must have taken twenty-two pictures from start to finish and maybe a few after it disappeared too but they were all worth it. :) I even saw a triple rainbow once and it still can’t compare to the amazing sight of this beautiful miracle of nature.

I truly believe this was an omen for our trip as we didn’t lose a single bit of her stuff to the rain and the entire time she’s been here it’s been rainbow’s and sunshine to coin a phrase. :) I just can’t stop smiling. Today has been such a wonderful day, all the worries I’ve had this week are proving to be unfounded and that gives me a good, and seriously needed, dose of hope for the future.

For Keiyou I imagine it’s an omen of change, that everything will be alright as she moves through the world and from one path to another. I’ve been in her shoes and though they may have been of a tread I feel I have a fairly good idea of what she’s going through and I thank all the little miracles of the universe that came together to give her this rainbow when they did. It’ll be something for her to look back on and remember this day as I remember singing in the car with my adoptive family. We orphans of the universe need signs like this you know.

For Hunny I imagine it would also be an omen of change, a sign that everything will work out alright if given enough time. He’s wise beyond his soul in so, so, so many ways. It may be a mystery right now how profound an effect it had on him but it’s the little mysteries in life that make everything so much more interesting and I relish these opportunities to learn more about my beloved soon-to-be husband.

For me… I know it’s an omen of change, everything is as everything changes but it’s also an omen of… well, I’m not certain I have words for this feeling. How the universe it taking care of me, my mother goddess looking down and seeing to those I love and by extension- myself. That seemingly huge, unpredictable, uncontrollable things like time, and rain, and sunshine can all come together in just the right moment to become something as majestic and magical as a rainbow, one of the few things that seems to breech both science and spirit. Then in seeing the rainbow, created by huge forces but the sight of it is still such a tiny little thing by itself, ones soul can be transformed, calmed, or comforted.
