Yesterday
morning there were some hazy showers drifting up the harbour on
the hills, sheets of soft, slow rain hanging in the sky. And the
sun appeared, and a rainbow formed across the water, arching across
the bay before it got lost in the rain. We held Matthew up to
look at it, going, “Oh wow! Rainbow” as he knelt on
the couch looking out the window.
Yesterday
night he stayed at my parents. In the evening I was walking with
Debbie along the waterfront in the cold, still night air. The
lights shimmered on the water. We walked across a small bridge
and smelt the sea in the air. And we looked up just as the moon
came up over the hills. A full, heavy, creamy moon. Hanging in
the darkness just over the water.
They
both seemed good portents to me. The rainbow and the moon.
