I dream about storms a lot. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of a dream, and there's an actual storm taking place. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of a dream, it's clear and calm, yet there's a storm taking place. The remaining sleep depends on one thing..... How close did the lifening bolts strike?
There are numerous results from an impending storm. Sometimes there's incredible destruction, and sometimes it passes by without any harm at all. There's a little drizzle, some thunder, and then the clouds break presenting the most beautiful rainbow. We all search for that rainbow, and when we find it, we quickly pull out a camera, snap a photo, and cling to that moment. We share it with everyone, because everyone loves a rainbow.
Unfortunately, rainbows are few and far between when lifening bolts strike. That's why when we battle life's storms, we hold out all hope for a break in the clouds. I think we all get by pretty well. Some of us have constant rainbows like husbands, wives, and children. For those, no matter how turbulent the storm, there's a calming peace that awaits.
For others, a rainbow never presents itself. Lifening bolts strike daily, and an end to the storm is nowhere in sight. I know people like this personally. They strive for happiness, contentment, self satisfaction, and love. It avoids them. Just when they think they're close to the edge of a rainbow, a lifening bolt strikes. There are never clear skies in their forecast.
I wrote this blog for those people. I've seen a lot of ugliness in my life. More than most that will read this. I have always had a rainbow at the end of the storm. No matter how many times lifening bolts have struck around me, the sun would pop out, and present the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen. There are more storms ahead for us all.........I hope that Roy G. Biv is waiting for you when the clouds break. -blink
