"After every storm there's a rainbow"
But that really isn't quite true.
Sometimes there's only one color,
And it isn't a cheery, bright hue.
Sometimes, no one brings light,
Sometimes it must come from within.
Stop looking out there for a rainbow,
Pick up crayons and color one in.
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
Don't wait for the brightness, just do.
You may just find the rainbow,
Comes from inside of you.

Emptying
Little hands reach for her. Little feet follow her. Light pours out of her very being. She is soft, comfort, guidance, and peace; and yet she often has none of these for herself. She gives, and she gives. And she asks for nothing. For everything that she pours into them, she pours out of herself. She cannot refill. She does not want to.
