My brother spent the day with us. We don’t visit each other often – he doesn’t travel much and doesn’t like entertaining people at his home, so I usually see him at the usual holidays. We missed him at Easter and Midsummer, so I drove him from Uppsala to Spånga and back so we could simply talk.
I found out that he is distancing himself from our mother because the difference between their political opinions is becoming unbridgeable. (And, knowing them, neither of them can probably refrain from arguing about it.) They live a ten-minute walk from each other and I’m pretty sure that both are quite lonely, especially in these quarantine times, and yet they’d rather be alone than talk to each other.
The rainbow has nothing to do with any of that and is not symbolic in any way. It’s here only because rainbows are pretty, and the contrast between the dark band between the two rainbows and the light area below them is cool.
