Late this afternoon, I stood on my front verandah and watched a rainbow appearing to be quite close by stretched over the sky. It was a case of double joy, as not only could I enjoy the rainbow, but also the rain that was falling. Rain is very welcome in my district at present as the ground is still quite dry down below the surface and newly sown crops are in great need of a decent downpour. Every little bit helps.
I wonder why rainbows arouse emotions? There are numerous songs about rainbows and photos of rainbows abound. Information about rainbows can tell us about them in technical terms, but fail to convey the magic associated with them. Children in particular get excited about rainbows – maybe because they are still closer to their feelings than many adults. So here’s a little bit of magic for your inner child. Enjoy.
