Magical Rainbows

There seem to be rainbows abounding all 'round at Meadow Sweet Grove lately ... in some form or other!

Sighting a rainbow is such a mystical experience.  That breathtaking spectrum of colour that appears brightly overhead for just a moment of time literally illuminating the day.  The sheer size and perfection of the arch is awe-inspiring in itself and is an example of Mother Nature's power.  And when a double rainbow occurs?  Count yourself very fortunate indeed.

I have observed that rainbows most often appear when, during a rainy day, the sun suddenly bursts through ... and for a short time, there is both rain and sunshine.  That's when its time to spin around quickly and see where the rainbow is showing itself in your neighbourhood!  Sometimes it isn't worth trying to catch a photo - by the time you grab the camera - the rainbow is starting to fade in brilliance.  But magical moments in life are meant to be enjoyed as they happen anyway.  Truly, they appear for such a short period of time (like many outward "proofs" of magic) that they are unfortunately missed or misinterpreted by many.  But seeing a rainbow can have such a significant meaning (often a hidden one), that the fabled search for the pot 'o gold isn't even necessary - just catching sight of the rainbow itself enriches.  I have noticed, however, that the land over which the rainbow occurs (either beneath the arch or at one of the ends) has often proved to be noteworthy ...

And, of course, you can always create your own luck through the use of prisms.  Just place them anywhere the sunshine falls in your house ... and they will catch the rays and transform them into good rainbow vibes, right in your own magical home.
