Yesterday afternoon the rain clouds rolled in. The wind picked up; the air smelled like the ocean. Thunder growled a warning. And then the rain broke loose. I closed the windows and kept working. After a while, the sky grew lighter, and when I looked up the sun was shining again, long, late afternoon golden light slanting through the pouring rain.
Wait a minute.
Late afternoon sunlight…in the pouring rain…
There must be a rainbow! A perfect end to this beautiful (Jewish) New Year’s day.
As if the rainbow weren’t enough, the sun put on a show too.
