Today show me your soul….
So here it is… my personal soulscape…

On this Saturday just past, I was caught in the rains.
So heavy it fell, that not even my umbrella could shield me from its force – my boots, dress and coat soon becoming soaked.
Crossing the roads, I leapt across flooded gutters determined to get to my bus stop.
Sitting on the bus, the rains soon subsided, the grey clouds relaxing their grip on the brittle winter afternoon.
As I hopped off the bus, and looked up towards my destination, I was grateful to see a beaming rainbow smiling in the sky.

So captivated I was, that I stood there for several moments, soaking up its beauty. I took out my phone and took some photos to capture the moment.
I noticed the sun, being a little cheeky, playing hide and seek behind the clouds.
And I was reminded, it takes both the sunshine and the rains to make a rainbow. And we must make it through the rains, if we are to be witness to a rainbow.
And so too I feel life is often like this…
When we are caught up in a storm – of emotions, relationship dramas, unfortuitous events, mental anguish – sometimes all that we see is the grey clouds surrounding us.
Though often in time, when the rains subside, and the dramas dissolve, we perceive a clearer insight, in which we see the blessings which have been born through the vexation.
As I reflect back on my own experience, my greatest challenges have all given rise to life’s precious gifts and opportunities – my own personal rainbows….
Life is sacred…

Life is like a rainbow, you need both the sun & the rain to make its colours appear...
One afternoon as I stood in my backyard, I was struck by the beauty of the afternoon sun’s rays…
Bathed in the light, I soon got out my camera and became transfixed by the patterns present.
Light refractions remind us of the source presence inherent within all of life.
Look closer… beauty is everywhere
