EVERYTHING IS LIKE A RAINBOW, LIKE AN ILLUSION
ENJOY YOUR RAINBOW, THEN LET IT GO
●◆● ════ ◆◇◆ ════ ●◆●
“All phenomena, including rainbows, arise and cease dependent on many and varying causes and conditions. When these causes and conditions change, phenomena also change. This is why we say that all phenomena are like illusions.
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon, and is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It usually takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of the sky directly opposite the sun.
Rainbows can be full circles, however the average observer sees only the arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground and centred on a line from the sun to the observers eye. Therefore everyone sees the rainbow differently, just as we may all perceive the same thing differently.
How we see or perceive a rainbow, and all phenomena, is dependent on our physical position that we are observing it from, as well as our ability to see and our state of consciousness at that moment. It is important to note that all of these aspects are in a constant state of flux.
So accept, enjoy and learn from everything you experience in life without attaching to it. It is impermanent and will change. Just let it be as it is. Enjoy your rainbows, then be kind to yourself and let them go.”
