A Rainbow Connection.
I returned alone. For the second year in a row, I checked in to a small hotel called Petit Lafitte on the Yucatan Coast of Mexico with my only objectives being self-care in the form of sleep, massages, and grilled fish tacos. I occupied the same room with the same view and walked on the same paths within these small property grounds as I had many times before. I conversed with the staff I have known for years; I ordered spicy margaritas with my lunch. I watched sunrises and sunsets, and witnessed a few stormy skies in what was a changing weather pattern minute to minute during my stay.
It was life on repeat. Just the way that, these days, I find solace and respite.
Except, today, I was graced with a double rainbow.
There are no coincidences. Here is my rainbow in the sky from yesteryear, and my wonderful world.
