"The Colors of Impermanence"

Rainbows have for long time symbolized a new beginning filled with hope. Usually appearing after a period of emotional upheaval with a promise of better things to come.  In some cultures, this natural phenomenon served as a bridge between the earth & the sky linking the material Earth with the Celestial astral world.  For example, the Greek goddess Iris served as a messenger to deliver communications from the Divine realm to humans and vice versa. She was believed to help in the fulfillment of humans’ prayers bringing them to the attention of corresponding deities.  This week she speaks to the temporary nature of rainbows and the beauty that you can chase but never hold. And so you’re asked to appreciate & acknowledge the transitory quality of the beauty of this moment & allow yourself to enjoy the wonder & sweetness while it lasts-especially in the life cycle of a young child. These tender wonderful moments go by in the blink of an eye so drink them up while you can. Even the stormy toddler or tumultuous teen years will pass as nothing lasts forever- neither the rain nor the rainbow. Once passed, you can reflect on the wisdom or gifts gained from challenging situations and give genuine gratitude for these blessings. Like the Wheel, there are always cycles in life, nothing is stagnant and we learn to ride its rhythm and have faith that it’s carrying us somewhere we will want or need to be. The stressors of this week will not last and neither will the good stuff so learn to embrace the moment and give conscious consideration of how your thoughts are coloring your day.
