Color Printed on Sky, Textile, & Character

Until the storms and difficulties beat upon [a person] again and again, his character appears flawed and blurred.  yet the trials actually clear away the clouds and shadows, perfect the form of his character, and bestow brightness and blessing to his life.  

-L. B. Cowman

There was a rainbow yesterday viewed from the top of Capitol Hill.  It is when the sun shines through the clouds that color imprints the sky & appreciation is found in the light.

As the cold season covers the northwest, bring out the bright colors and let flowers bloom out of the dark corners of your closet.
