Clouds cover the city skyline this morning. Not fog, but thick, dark blue clouds.
It looks as if it might storm, but the sun rising in the east pushes an orange glow across the deep blue thunderheads, reflecting the light and making the sky question whether it will rain or not.
I like these types of clouds, these types of days. They’re dreary, but they’re also peaceful and carry promises.
They carry rain.
They carry rainbows.
They give us shade in the heat of summer.
All good things. All beautiful things. All counteracting the storms they also carry.
So today sits and waits for the storm that may or may not come, and today enjoys the promises that already have come: light, warmth, beauty and the hint of a rainbow tracing the tail end of the sky.
