Two weeks ago, I was listening to "While the Cold Winter Waiting" by Trentmoller, and as I got to about the middle of the song I walked out of the subterranean computer lab at my school and out into the world. It was just after the rain, and it seemed like the whole world was alive and smiling. Verdant trees and lush grass everywhere, and I looked in the sky, through the silvery and amber lampshade clouds, and saw my first rainbow in years.
Years ago, I was driving home after a long weekend and it was raining at sunset. The shimmering rays danced through the falling raindrops, it was like liquid gold was pouring out of the clouds.
