Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path. Henry Winkler

This picture was shot early in the morning from Dashaswamedh (Main) Ghat in Varanasi (Benaras) when the holy waters become gold and hold a promise at dawn...

Thanks to all of you for praying for my brother-in-law Jason (my husband's brother) and for keeping him in your thoughts!
In case you did not see yesterday's photo, he had surgery for a brain tumor. It was originally thought to be 2 1/2 inches and was located above and behind his eye. It ended up being about the size of a softball. They were able to remove the entire tumor and it was benign. Please continue to remember him in your prayers as he recovers from surgery.
This is a SUPERNUMERARY RAINBOW.
Info from the wikipedia on Supernumeray Rainbows: Occasionally, another beautiful and striking rainbow phenomenon can be observed, consisting of several faint rainbows on the inner side of the primary rainbow, and very rarely also outside the secondary rainbow. They are slightly detached and have pastel colour bands that do not fit the usual pattern. They are known as supernumerary rainbows, and it is not possible to explain their existence using classical geometric optics. The alternating faint rainbows are caused by interference between rays of light following slightly different paths with slightly varying lengths within the raindrops. Some rays are in phase, reinforcing each other through constructive interference, creating a bright band; others are out of phase by up to half a wavelength, cancelling each other out through destructive interference, and creating a gap. Given the different angles of refraction for rays of different colours, the patterns of interference are slightly different for rays of different colours, so each bright band is differentiated in colour, creating a miniature rainbow. Supernumerary rainbows are clearest when raindrops are small and of similar size. The very existence of supernumerary rainbows was historically a first indication of the wave nature of light, and the first explanation was provided by Thomas Young in 1804.
I got this information from this photo of another supernumerary rainbow. I originally became aware that this was a supernumerary rainbow because of this comment by Walt K. Thanks!

This small white growth emerging from the grass shows that we we still may see Fly Agarics into November. So young it's still completely covered in the universal veil that will become the iconic white spots as the toadstool swells
Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:
There was a rainbow on our bedroom carpet - honestly there was. I was stunned.
This photo hasn’t been super-imposed, no trickery.
The sun was shining on our wardrobe mirror and the rainbow just bounced off it onto the floor.
I’m not scientifically minded, so have no idea how it happed but there it was.
I quickly took this photo before the sun went behind the clouds.
It reminded me of an old, old hymn I used to sing as a girl - you don’t hear it so often now.
Maybe some of you remember it ?
Standing on the Promises - by Russel Kelso Carter 1849-1926
1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
through eternal ages let his praises ring;
glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
standing on the promises of God.
Refrain:
Standing, standing,
standing on the promises of Christ my Savior;
standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.
2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
by the living Word of God I shall prevail,
standing on the promises of God.
(Refrain)
3. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,
overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,
standing on the promises of God.
(Refrain)
4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
listening every moment to the Spirit's call,
resting in my Saviour as my all in all,
standing on the promises of God.
Refrain)
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.
Pablo Neruda
