I was sitting downstairs checking my blog posts when Maria came into the room and pointed at me, saying, “rainbow mouth, rainbow mouth,” I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.

She took a picture of the rainbow coloring over my mouth and said it came from a crystal hanging in a window with the morning sun behind it.

When I saw the photo, I was taken by surprise. That has never happened to me before, and I’ve been wondering what it might mean all morning.

It will likely never happen again since it took this long the first time.

I’m not superstitious, as a rule, but this got to me. Life is full of crisis and mystery.
