Rainbow – Serendipity

How Did We Get Here? Turns out your map was only a suggestion.
We are mapping as we go along. However, life is even more interesting, it turns out, than our imaginations.

After the Storm – Comes the Rainbow! Every visible color – carefully separated out – forming an arch to give us a glimpse of heaven! If it didn’t provably exist, would we believe in it?

List Your Rainbows – Clouds may or may not have silver linings. Rainbows are a complete surprise – unconnected to the storms that spawned them. Write about the surprises in your life in your training journal. How many were nasty? How many joyous?

The Universe Conspired – To bring you to this moment. You zigged, you zagged, you wound up here. Give thanks!

You Picked the Rainbow Card – Sounds like it’s telling you to lay down your weapons. Give a party!

Happenstance –
Fortuitous
Chance; we’re
Born lucky
We just don’t know it.
