Cleansing Rain

I woke to a dark and rainy morning on my third day of travel.  Setting out early, I blessed the rain for it’s cleansing capabilities.  As the sun rose the clouds started to part and the sky was transformed.  Throughout the day, the skyscape changed.  There were moments of grey rains in Illinois, speckled blue peeking through parting white clouds, deep purple clouds over golden Missouri fields and finally clear blue sky as I reached my destination.
