I take walks around the neighborhood almost every night. Often I don't see anything to feel happy about. I see parents ignoring children, teenagers hanging out in the streets, and an abundance of litter. A couple of weeks ago, I saw the rainbow in the picture above. My phone camera sucks, so this picture does not do the rainbow justice. It spanned a huge distance and had a great range of colors. I walked toward it excitedly, and I wasn't the only one who was excited. A woman who was standing on the sidewalk stopped me to make sure that I saw it. It was amazing how a simple rainbow transformed the neighborhood, if only for a short time.
Even the darkness of the ghetto has some light when you're looking for it. :)
