Last night I was sitting on our screened in porch with my family when it started to rain. The sun was shining on the clouds and far trees in the distance. The rain poured on our house like buckets of water dropped from above, yet in the distance the sky was clear, and the sun glowed gold. Rather than washing out the colors of the trees and flowers, it strengthened them. The pink cherry blossoms grew even brighter and the grass shown a vibrant green behind the curtains of the storm. Gushes of water broke into mist through the screens of the porch. Then the rain let up as quickly as it started, leaving the whole world in a bright green haze. The clouds above were a beautiful gradient of grayish purple and golden yellow. The setting sun illuminated the whole world before our eyes. It was as if the world was a photo with the saturation turned up the whole way. Everything had color. The previously grey tree trunks were now a glowing brown. Dead leaves on the ground came back to life. Even driveways came alive. The whole world woke up. The whole world let its colors shine.
