An arch is the shape which we commonly attribute to rainbows, but did you know that the true shape of a rainbow is that of a circle and not a bow? It is because of our vantage point at the earth’s surface that a portion of the rainbow’s circle remains hidden from our sight. Individuals have, at times, been able to catch a glimpse of the circular rainbow from loftier elevations such as mountain tops or airplanes.

Although we can not always envision the full spectrum of the rainbow because of our earthly orientation, from a heavenly vantage point there is a multi-dimensional wonder that is even more glorious and mysterious than we could imagine. This truth is applicable to much of life: rainbows, art, people and relationships.

Many intricate variables contribute to the evolution of a rainbow. The position of the sun, the presence of water, the angles at which light is refracted, and the orientation of the observer all play an integral part. We learn to see more when we become conscious of our limited earthly perspectives. By remaining aware of the moods, cumulative life experiences and memories that we carry with us throughout life, we can transcend passive observation and begin to believe in the beauty and mystery of what remains hidden.

It is a pleasure for me to be able to share my writing and photography with others as an example of this belief: ALL of life is a multi-dimensional reflection of the light that each of us carries inside!
