Rainbow Around the Sun

Sometimes, the most meaningful moments happen when we simply look up.

While walking on the beach on July 11, I noticed something I'd never seen before, a complete rainbow encircling the sun.

I've since learned it's called a 22° solar halo, created when sunlight passes through ice crystals high in the atmosphere.

Science explains how it happens.

What it means... that's ours to decide.

For me, it felt like a reminder that seasons of growth often begin quietly and unexpectedly.

That strength and hope can exist at the same time.

That even when life feels uncertain, there is still beauty surrounding us if we're willing to pause long enough to notice it.

Whether you see an atmospheric phenomenon, a beautiful coincidence, or something more personal, I hope it gives you a reason to look up.

Sometimes, that's exactly where perspective begins.

Keep becoming. 🦋
