This morning, the sun shone through my north-east window, causing a rainbow to appear on one of my walls. It arced down and ended right at Alex's baby picture, taken when he was just a few weeks old, that sits atop my bookcase.
Since there is nothing hanging in the window to cause a rainbow, and because I'd never seen a rainbow appear in my bedroom before, I thought it was pretty remarkable. I took several pictures and pulled Mom out of bed to come see... And just before she walked in, my gaze landed on an object that lay in the sunlight. The sun was refracting off a dusty, upturned DVD.
I have to admit, I was disappointed. I had hoped it was a message from one of my grandparents, perhaps, letting me know all was well with them and my son, but I couldn't deny the obvious mundane source of my rainbow.
It was still pretty, though, and what a lovely symbol it made with Alex at its end!
