We all meet rainbows in our life....we meet occasions that tells us that life is worth the living for the values we have stood for. We may not be able to decipher the rainbow...nor may we be able to feel the difference between the violet and the indigo. Can we? Can we find the exact region of separation between two colours in a rainbow? I have often contemplated that mystery. Still we see the difference and understand that life is a complex picture of colours that God has instilled in all of us. The beauty of life is this diversity of colours that rainbow represent. Though the colours are all arched in one great rainbow, they still stand apart giving the beauty that is unique in the sky.
Let me quote some verses from a poem by Paul Williams:
"Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me".
