Lately the sky has been one breath taking painting after another. I'm not saying the weathers been nice just that no matter the weather of the moment the sky seems to have an eye pleasing look to it. For instance last week I was driving home and looked up and saw, of all things, a single lonely cloud in a bright blue sky. That itself wasn't enthralling but the fact that their was a rainbow running through the tiny cloud was cool. Especially because it ran "only" through the cloud. It was like the cloud was a canvase itself and the painting was of a vibrant rainbow. On top of that it hadn't rained for almost two days at that point. Strange and cool. Then last night on the way to small group study I saw the most beautifull set of sunrays breaking trough clouds I have seen in a while. So much so I actually thought of pulling over for a while to stare at it. The shading of the clouds was like nothing I remember and the sun rays made it even better. It seems like it has been this way a lot lately. Almost every day.
Then I wonder if it is always like this. Truthfully, had my head not been in the right place (non-literal) I would have missed all of these sightings. Makes me wonder how many other people were so excited about the sky above them. Were any people on the road with me tempted to pull over? Were any of the people walking around town stopping to appreciate the uniqness of a lone rainbow cloud? I dunno. I hope so though.

i remember one time when i lived in germany i was about 13 years old. i was riding my bike at Lee Barracks where i worked for the summer, and stopped and looked up at the sky. it was freakin awesome lookin. it was bright and sunny, but there were still a ton of clouds in the sky. not just the flat bottomed suckers either, these were all round and bumpy on the bottom. a lot of texture. i mean, it looked like a landscape, and i thought about how most people usually don't even notice the every day things like clouds and how amazing they can look...
another time around the same age this time at Finthen Airbase in germany, i was on my bike in a parking lot behind the one of the buildings and wiped out. as i was getting up i happened to catch the sun going down. it looked wonderful, and i was also suprised to see that it was almost 10 at night before it went down...
