Here is where we begin the Rainbow Year adventure. In previous years I have had a color for that year that would guide my reflections, my choices, and my wonderings. It would be one color for all four seasons.
This year was different. Thinking about what 2025 was going to look like, as if I could know at all, I had the impression that it was going to be colorful. Hard to pick. A wild ride.
And with that I told my husband, “I think it’s going to be all the colors. My rainbow year.”
Not sure at first if it was going to be all the colors together as in a rainbow for the whole live-long year, or if it was going to have some sort of pattern to it, I decided to follow the rainbow and see what was waiting for me at the end.
Hardly anything is as rewarding at the end compared to all the gems collected on the way there.
So, here I am. Walking through the rainbow two months at a time. Works out really well if we just call it purple. Two months to a color. It’s hard to get away from the original meaning of the rainbow: a promise from God to not totally flood the earth again. With the color meanings and the phrase “promises of God” I set off to chase the rainbow.
So far, I have seen more actual rainbows in the sky this year than I have in the past 10 years. So much promise.
