Rainbows
This morning I awoke before the sun and headed down the hill for the operations meeting. It was misty out and the clouds were low and the sun had just begun to breathe light into the valley. The sky to the East was pink framed with clouds of gray mist and the light brightened turning the mist into a rainbow. It was beautiful to see those magical colors appear in the mist as I was still waking up. I stood still and quiet taking it all in and as the sun moved down the valley it lighted the mist to the west as well where colors began to haze into view and reach for the sky. It was one of those moments where you don’t want to blink for fear of missing something. When the sun climbed above the clouds the valley darkened and I awakened from my awed stupor, walked into the dining hall to get a cup of coffee throughout the day I carried that beauty, that thought held in light with me, and it brought me joy.
We had a ladies night at my chalet tonight and if felt like all of the women in the village were here. There was good conversation, the telling of stories and carameled apple slices which reminded me of fall. It always amazes me how many people you can fit into the living room of a chalet. It was a nice way to end the day.
