Over the course of the four hour drive up to the cabin this past weekend, my husband and I encountered almost every type of weather imaginable - heavy rains, followed by hail, then snow, wind, drizzle, and finally, sunshine. Most impressive was driving directly under three vibrant rainbows, in short succession, with the ends of the arcs seeming to touch down just off either side of the highway. And as we wound our way through scenic Manning Park, a trip we have made well over a hundred times, I had an aha moment: the ski and snowboard terrain within this provincial park is located in an area called Gibson Pass. My son's last name intertwined with that of his closest friend, in this beautiful setting. A wonderful symbol of the Gibson and Manning connection - how had I not made this observation before? Come to think of it, I cross a span called Rainbow Bridge when walking along my favourite trail in that park. Under, over, and intertwined ... weaving rich moments into my life.

Wakening to a hot and sunny Okanagan morning yesterday. Feeling the weight of the building thunderstorm. Likely the reason behind the previous night's restless sleep. Getting out for a long swim. The first of the year. After lunch, settling in on the mat, overlooking the lake. Practicing yin yoga. The atmospheric pressure finally releasing in the form of thunder, lightening and heavy rain. This summer storm playing out all around me. Breathing in that cooler, moist, sweet summer air. Simultaneously releasing deep internal tension while holding those long poses. Soon after, witnessing a magnificent rainbow. Reflecting the very colours of the chakras. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Grateful for such a rich and vibrant day.
Preparing for bed a couple of nights ago. Expressing gratitude for being able to experience life with an integrated connection to the unseen. Wondering how to articulate to another what it feels like to live this way. Immediately shown an analogy. Imagining a person seeing the entire world without colour. Solely in shades of black and white. Certainly functional, but fairly dull. Then flipping a switch. Allowing all the colours of the rainbow to be observed and factored in. Adding a huge measure of intensity to all perceptions. Bringing increased vibrancy to daily life. If that individual were then to incorporate the additional layer of gaining information through intuition and spirit connection, he would experience yet another magnificent shift. Just as dramatic as the first. Resulting in an even richer and more vivid life.
Another calendar year drawing to a close. Opportune time to take stock. Reflecting on the great changes and challenges that occurred. All allowing for deeper learning and understanding. About myself, as well as others. A year rich in loving moments and experiences. Certainly one thoroughly filled with tremendous significance.
