A gateway to life
A very young child, not yet of school age, not yet influenced by the world’s ideas and thoughts, stood alone outside under a blue sky and pondered. Where did the clouds of yesterday go to, where will those of tomorrow come from? What was beyond that overarching canopy in which they floated, disappeared and then reappeared in new shapes and forms?
And an answer presented itself within that child, in the words of a song, a lullaby, that had stayed with her since its hearing in even earlier years.
“Over the rainbow, way up high, there’s a place I have heard of once in a lullaby…. if birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why, can’t I?”
That question had remained throughout her life and now, many years later in maturity as an adult those same words still resound, over and over. Life has responded over the years in many different ways, with many different experiences and different directions but only one response has always remained true.
Seek within, seek the rainbow within your heart.
That early childhood experience proved to be the gateway to life.
