What do the rainbows say to you? How is the coyote on the left feeling? How about the one on the right?

I worry at times that I’m the coyote with a black hole for a heart, sucking up all the other coyotes’ songs and keeping them from reaching anyone else. Mostly though, I recognize that I can also be the one who does the singing to fill others’ hearts, and that’s why mine ends up feeling like a black hole in the first place.

When do you need love most? When are you able to sing rainbows for others?
