Double Rainbows


Double Rainbow,  Northern Arizona

Normally, my blog is reserved for posts about art. This morning's post will be different. Sometimes I just have to write and this morning is one of those times. 

This has been a year that I cannot yet summarize. It has at once been fantastic and sad. There have been so many deaths, so many dire diagnoses but, I cannot help but notice that this year has been a year of double rainbows. 
Everywhere I have gone, from New Mexico to Arizona and back to Texas, there have been double rainbows. All the more poignant because they have been in the desert Southwest. People have been posting double rainbows photos from everywhere! Every time I see one, I feel it is the reassurance that everything is under control, in spite of how it looks on the outside, and that everything will be all right.
 Life, situations, events, everything is in a constant state of flux. Noticing the beauty in every fleeting moment keep things in perspective and keeps us on balance. 
 I wish you all double rainbows.

Very well said. I had noticed the same as well. And I have had the opportunity to make my own collection of double rainbow photos and mental images to remind me. Thanks for the uplifting post Gaye!

I am so happy that you found my post uplifting. It makes my day to hear that you have observed the same and have made your own collection of double rainbows. It is so wonderful to be reminded of the beauty that can be seen, even in the midst of a storm.
Thank you for sharing your comments. Blessings to you, Lilibeth.
