Coming home from the Eastern Shore today, we got caught in a heavy snow that shut down the Bay Bridge for a while and made for a very hairy three-hour trip home. After unloading the car, shoveling the sidewalk, and replenishing ourselves over at Nacho Mama’s, I took a look out my office window and saw this magnificent play of colors and textures in the alley behind our house. I had some Lisa Gerrard going on the stereo, and the combined effect was deeply calming and full of promise, like the proverbial rainbow after the storm.
Would that all people could have such a moment tonight.
