This morning I had the opportunity to ride in to work by myself so I decided to bring in my motorcycle. It was in the mid 40's but the sun was shining. As I took the on ramp for the HOV lane on I-279 South I noticed that there was not one but two rainbow halos around the sun. I knew that the rainbows were caused by ice particles high in the atmosphere. The fact that there were two of them meant that there were a lot of them in the area above the Pittsburgh area.
My thoughts went from the scientific to the Holy. I said out loud to no one but God, thank you for showing us your presence this morning. I had a hard time concentrating on driving the bike, a dangerous issue. I just could not take my eyes off of the affect. It was beautifully sublime in its simplicity and symmetry. I thought about all of those people around me in their cars and I wondered if any of them were seeing what God was showing us this morning. Most of them probably missed the show.
As I rode in I just enjoyed being out in the brisk morning while the presence of God was above the city. We spend a lot of our lives looking at what is right in front of us. If we take a moment and look up we may be taken by surprise at what God is waiting to show us.
