Who doesn’t marvel at the wonder of a rainbow? There’s something about seeing such colorful
grandness arching overhead that makes all of humanity stop and stare. And a double rainbow? Well, that must just bring twice the good
fortune.
We recently spotted this double delight while at our
son’s and new daughter-in-law’s wedding in Colorado. We were conversing during the rehearsal
dinner, everyone thrilled with the light rain that was falling then (instead of the next day at the
outdoor nuptials), when the natural phenomenon was spotted. Oh, my, we all gushed. Surely this portends extra special good luck
for the happy couple. And because we thought
it, it is true.
Since that day, this picture has beckoned to me more
than once.
A good friend’s mother was celebrating her 91st
birthday and my friend asked 91 people to send her mother birthday wishes. Their address? Rainbow Road.
Of course, I sent a copy of this picture in my card.
A dear mentor of mine recently celebrated her birthday. She’s given me the comfort and wisdom of her
old-soulness, in ways I’ll never be able to repay. But, she reads this blog. And, so, I can offer her this double rainbow
of good wishes. J
And, lastly, we just heard about the death of a very
special aunt. As we prepare to bury her
and to say our goodbyes, this picture, again, makes its way to the group of
us. We feel lighter looking at it, as if
we’re connected, again, with our loved one who has joined the spectrum of
light.
It’s time for me to pass the double rainbow on, and
so, I give it to you. Take from it what
you need and keep it for as long as you like.
Then deliver it to others who will make good use of it.
