FallinWoman 1 #1 November 10, 2001 As I drove to the dropzone this morning, I saw the most amazing sight. I knew it was going to be a great day.As I crossed the Mississippi River (the Big Muddy River, as it is known) it appeared crystal blue, as it reflected the color of the sky. Ribbons of dark purple clouds criss-crossed the pale blue sky. Peeking through a line of bare-branched trees, the sun was a huge ball of orange, not yet bright enough to hurt the eyes.Atop one of the ribbons of clouds sat a thin sliver of a rainbow.God painted a canvas this morning, and I am humbled to have witnessed his glorious work.
