It feels good to be wet for a change. I am grateful for the rain and the rainbow it spawned as I visited my neighbor this morning. We both wondered whether it was his wife's signal from The Great Beyond. Not just one, but two big, bold rainbows arose from the Sausalito hills up to the clouds just as we were talking about her. Our dogs romped in her garden, as if nothing had changed. Her presence was everywhere.

A gentle rain has been falling all day. One could fall into a melancholy mood if it weren't for the small tree in the living room all lit up, sparking sweet memories of my family gathered around. We need the rain, and there is more to come. We are the lucky ones who have a warm place to be, choosing to drown out the darkness with a reservoir of goodness and gratitude.

Amidst avalanches of bad news, there was the moon, rising over Angel Island, spreading its soft light across the water and lighting up a lavender sky. It was a small moment that stayed with me all weekend as we bathed ourselves in Thanksgiving, just the two of us, savoring our quiet time together in the natural world.

I kid you not. Highway 12, Sunday late afternoon, just as the sun was setting, passing by Kunde vineyards. A sight to behold and to hold onto for a generous dose of natural beauty.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Your comments regarding "Self Portrait 11-12-15" have been duly noted. (Bobby, Lindy, Lee, Sisi, Judy) This is a little more me, but like everything else about me, it is still a work in progress.  

My mood was elevated today by Janet Cardiff's "The Forty Part Motet - A Sound Installation at Fort Mason Center," which I attended with a friend preceded by lunch at Greens.The setting, on a glorious, sun drenched day by the Bay would in itself have warranted the trip. But the music experience is sublime, and to share it with a friend amplified the pleasure no end. Don't miss it.
