La dolce vita


As I drive mundanely on the road, the rain clears, & I see a giant rainbow, covering almost half of the gray sky. I drive downhill, & it vanishes from my sight. I keep driving forward, towards it, but I never see it again – as momentary as a dream. Then, continuing to drive, & feeling nothing, & going nowhere in particular: satori.

A crocus pushes from the dirt to raise its head & bloom, mirroring the joy inside of me.
