see the rainbow

it was sunday morning. headed down the 101, i was tired and really feinding for caffeine. it was rainy. i picked up ms. shirley and we went to the coffee shop.
"do you see that?"
"what?"
"the rainbow."
"where?"
"right there," i arced my finger.
"no."
"looook, red, orange, purple..."
"there it is, that's right, how'd you see that?"
"i don't know, it's right there."

i corinthians 13

the love scripture...
how many people, when they use the word "love," mean this --
*****
my feelings toward you are characterized by patience and kindness.
my feelings for you release my pride, jealousy and any rudeness.
in my love for you i'll never find joy in the wrong things, and my love will not be eroded or irritated. the rejoicing in my love will focus only on what's right and true; my love does not demand on my way...
my love keeps no record of wrongs, always hopes and never ceases to have faith.
my love perseveres and has a forever endurance.
it will last and last...
*****
whoa.
love is not commonplace.
it's certainly not for the faint of heart.
do we even love ourselves?
