January first at 2:43 pm she sighted one and announced it to all at home. My 14 year old daughter took me by the elbow and steered me through our flooded garden to where I viewed a rarity on this side of the Pacific. In Hawaii, I expect to see rainbows. To report one to natives just brings dull nods.
But here in the Bay Area, amidst the smog, where trees and buildings block Sun and Sky, even one full gracious curve of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple is a miracle, and on this day, the first of the year, this rainbow bodes well, promising favor and cheer.
