Yesterday I ate my lunch inside a rainbow.
The sparkling sunshine outside my window at work convinced me to brave the freezing breezes. I slipped out of the building, lunchbox in hand, and slid into my car to bask in its sun warmed interior.
And the sun was shining so cheerily, so full of brightness - so directly in my eyes.
After squinting for some long moments, I pulled off my pretty scarf and hung it in a curtain around me, filtering the sunlight and softening it's rays into radiant color. It poured over me with dancing hues and immediately transformed my car into a brilliant rainbow. Just try to eat oranges amidst a rainbow and see if you can't help but be filled with overwhelming happiness. And so I learned something new yesterday. Sunlight glowing through pretty scarves is pure joy. And we are made for joy.
After spending an afternoon daydreaming about rainbow scarves, I went home and attempted to capture this joy. And with my light table and a pile of beautiful scarves, this is what I created:
Babe you are the absolute most creative beautiful creature EVER created on planet earth!!!!!!!!!! How in the WORLD do you get ideas as wonderful and as beautiful as you do?!
