Rainbows and Kisses
Today was one of those days. It was one of those days that no matter where you look, even if it’s right into the face of a gathering storm, something lovely slips in to bring magic to the moment. Sometimes, even the Spirits of Nature, the Spirits of Place – of ‘a’ Place – conspire to bring rainbows and kisses, two of the most spontaneous yet potentially profound expressions of beauty and whimsy into our lives.
Rainbows. Kisses. Sometimes both at the same time!

How can it be? In the midst of all the ugly rancor in the world, all the sadness and darkness, how can it be that rainbows and kisses can show up in our midst, bringing everyone who sees either – or both – a flutter of joy in their heart?

Spirits of a Place
That’s the magic of the Spirits of a place, of a particular piece of land. Where love is present, All Life springs forward to greet and celebrate it. And I have a feeling that while this is a phenomenon that’s always true, in times like these, when the clouds gathering on the horizon are turning an especially ominous shade of deepest slate gray, the Spirits of a place conspire even more concertedly to celebrate, nurture, and rejoice in that love.
And what better way to express love than with rainbows and kisses?
Or both at the same time?
