Rainbows appear when raindrops (similar to a prism) reflect sunlight, which breaks white sunlight into color. Sounds so simple. What’s interesting to add is that no two viewers of that rainbow will see the exact same rainbow because each will view it at a different set of droplets and view at different angles. Interesting since I just like the cheeriness rainbows bring into our lives. Well mine anyways. I always thought that when I grew up I would change my name to Rainbow Bright, find my white horse with rainbow-colored hair, slap on that color belt and live happily ever after with my sprite Twink in Rainbow land. Sadly as you all know we don’t grow up and become cartoon characters, which I think is pretty weak sauce if you ask me!
My plan then became to bring color into the colorless land. Umm sounds easy enough right? Ha well I’m not a miracle worker! What I can do though is to not add to the murkiness of the world now. The thing I learned about gloomy bitter people is that misery loves company and don’t we know it! That negative ugly energy somehow makes it into our rainbow-colored world and just sucks all the color crystals out. That’s why we need to feed our color sprites. Come on stay with me. If we tend to all those parts of our lives that make us happy colorful people then those Murkys and Lurkys of the world can’t touch us. Don’t we all know that person in our life that once they just walk into a room they suck the ‘color’ right out? What do we do with these people?
The choice is yours really and that choice will probably depend on your happiness. I know for awhile I felt it was my job to save these people. But I quickly discovered that nobody can MAKE you happy. This is something that only you can do. Once I stopped looking to others for my happiness I was happy. How about them apples or in this case rainbows. So until I find that ‘color belt’ I will just have to rely on my rainbow tattoo!
