Our "Rainbows and Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life -
the little things that are so easy to overlook,
yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
to notice and to pay attention.
Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all God's creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Surrounded by the winds and the rain,

a time for repose and contemplation.

Soon we'll be out amid the cold world's strife.
Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life.

Hearts full of truth,
Six parts gin to one part vermouth.
