I saw a rainbow today and it truly filled me with a great happiness. It was only briefly, for a moment. I saw it clearly and then it dissapeared as quickly as it appeared. Though fleeting and probably bot even seen by many people that rainbow had a purpose. It brightened my day. How often we miss the fleeting moments that is filled with meaning? I did not have time to take a photo, but the rainbow lived on in my mind for some time.
Everyday there are probably a thousand places where somebody can see a rainbow but it is the one we see that has purpose for us. When we live in the moment we see these things and although they might be only temporal the memory of it can last for a long time. The memory that can be triggered again when we see another rainbow. In some sense because the rainbow as a concept is constant, we see only one rainbow that keeps on appearing when we need it the most.
