I had taken my kids out to the park, and it suddenly started
drizzling. The sun was still out and we had not expected a shower at all. While
I was feeling bad about an evening ruined for the kids, they excitedly pointed
out to a beautiful rainbow sweeping across the sky. A ray of sun through the
tiny drops of water breaks into a colourful jig of seven colours, VIBGYOR as we
know them. The sight of a rainbow was enough to turn those frowns into smiles.
The Seven colours, each bearing a different significance and
meaning, invoke feelings and beliefs unique to each of them. What the colours
symbolised looked like a summary of what I had been writing all month long!
Red is the colour of love, passion, energy and enthusiasm.
Orange symbolizes creativity and playfulness, bringing about
a balance of both in life.
Yellow is bright, chirpy and happy and symbolizes vibrancy,
energy, and wisdom.
Green has a calming effect and is the colour of fertility,
and growth, good health, harmony.
Blue is soothing and relaxing and is the colour of divinity,
the colour of peace, understanding and communication.
Indigo symbolizes infinity, mastery over the self and
intuition.
Violet symbolizes royalty, and spirituality.
Together they symbolize how much infinite potential lies
within each one of us; the potential to love, to be creative, to be happy, to
grow, to understand, to be playful, to
be vibrant, to be wise, to be harmonious and peaceful, and finally to have control
over our self and to be one with God!
The rainbow is a symbol of hope; it tells you how a ray of
light can bring out the brightest of colours from a single colur- white….and
how you can choose to be that light in someone’s life, turning their world
colourful or trust someone to be that light for you!
What took me a month to say, the rainbow said it all with
its band of seven colours!

ReplyDeleteA colourful post, Titli :) Lovely, this is :)
ReplyDeleteHow easily we associate happiness and all that is good, with a rainbow. A rainbow is a symbol of how something so beautiful, and high and world-encompassing can be produced from something as small as a droplet of water, and as thin as a ray of light. Everything boils down to your M, Miracle, doesn't it ? :)
Yes the rainbow is a symbol of hope
ReplyDeleteLooking at a rainbow is always an awe-inspiring experience, after all it is so full of hope and promises of a new beginning!! Lovely post, S :)
