Double Rainbow

There it was, up above the rain-drenched roofs, arched over the trees – a magnificent  rainbow! It spanned across the sky, in a brightly colored arch, wide over the street.

That would have been enough to see but then above the rainbow was another arch. I had never seen a double rainbow before and I was awed. But there was something interesting about the rainbow above. It’s colors were the reverse of the rainbow below it.

A rainbow, besides being amazing, is seen as a sign of possibilities. In the midst of life’s storms it is often hard to spot a rainbow, but they tend to appear after the storm and offer hope.

A double rainbow is even rarer and a good omen. It is the symbol of hope and encouragement and prosperity. It also provides spiritual encouragement. But whether scientific or spiritual, any rainbow is a joy to see,

Here is the technical reason for a double rainbow:

  1. Ferida,
    Your ability to take pause, observation the world around us, and share your thoughts is truly life giving. Your “words” paint in our minds and hearts a beautiful
    rainbow that will last in our memory forever. (Anna Marie Hrivnak)

  2. Rainbows have always given me a sense of calm combined with awe. Now when I see them, I will also be reminded of you, your magical way with words and our special relationship.
