Signs and Signals

24 Jan

You’ve heard the old tale about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? There’s not one. I know. I was there yesterday. I was driving home from the Post Office, the rain had stopped and the sun decided to pop out for a few minutes, I turned the corner, jammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car and ran into the end of the rainbow. The colors were so vivid in this full arch above the houses. And, yes, the end of the rainbow seemed to come down behind the house in the photo above. So, I slipped between the houses and into the general area when the strips of color disappeared into the moist air. Honestly, for having stood in the end of the rainbow, I don’t think I look any more like Tom Cruise than I used to, but my spirit got a huge boost and I felt a sense of gratitude. Genesis 9:13 all over again! ”The sign of the covenant…” As I think I have mentioned before, there are signs of Presence everywhere; signals that a promise is a promise. Maybe you won’t see a full rainbow today, but if you pay attention, you will get reminders that we are not alone in this amazing experience called life. Stunning or subtle, they are there.

    What a beautiful sign of the Presence and a reminder of your diligence to see and be aware. Thanks.

    Roger – You might ask, ‘do my writings, thoughts and pictures have an impact.’ Well this morning, after reading Signs and Signals and sharing it with Dee, I hopped, actually slid, into my golf cart and headed off to my spinning class. On the way, all of a sudden I got a glimpse of the setting full moon which was a pale golden color. Its backdrop was a rather dark grey sky with scattered white clouds. No, my camera was not with me. I came to a quick stop and uttered aloud, not OMG, but “Oh Roger!” I did not mean to take your name in vain, but those two words came forth from my mouth. Neither do I not mean to give you more credit than you deserve for this beauty. I know you are not the source but you help me to better appreciate the beauty in my world. So, do your writings, thoughts and pictures have an impact? I would resoundingly say – you bet, for sure, no doubt.

    Your friend and admirer, gz
