This morning's sit was very special. Most mornings my first activity is sitting by the window with my altar pieces (incense, candle, and blessings bowl, pictured above) on a small table in front of me. I wrap my prayer shawl around my shoulders - the one that Sara knitted for me, sit, and hold the bowl in my hands. Usually I sit for 30 minutes with a timer set. By now, I really don't need the timer, but I still use it. I repeat my mantras as they rise in my thoughts and gaze at the Pond or the candle, or close my eyes. This morning, something very special occurred. As I was gazing at the candle flame, a rainbow formed over the top of the candle holder. Even more surprising, it remained even though I blinked several times. Maybe 3 or 4 minutes. This is a first. It brought to mind another very special occurrence when I was in Ireland 10 years ago. While walking in an intermittent very light rain I saw my first and only double rainbow. I remember as a child seeing rainbows frequently, but not so now. Do you still believe, as I do, there's a pot of gold at the end? Do you ever wonder which end?
