dig and be dug in return

a rainbow is created "real-time" by the reaction between your eyes, the sun's light, and the water droplets in the sky. this is why as you move, the rainbow seemingly moves to stay ahead of you, remaining always between you and the sun. This explains sayings like "the gold at the end of the rainbow" or " don't go chasing rainbows." Ok, fine, but what about the other side? rainbows also seemingly follow you, if we shouldnt chase remembers, we should also not run from them. actually, you can get away by getting out of the drizzle or not looking at the side of the landscape with the sun. interestingly, everyone who sees a rainbow sees a different one, the one in line with them and the sun. Is there only one rainbow? So you move the rainbow doesn't move at all, but rather the universe (you + everything else) creates new rainbows constantly as you move. so it is with all things. But going further, the rainbows only come in and out of existence because of things like people and water and light. A play of light by the universe. without the people, no rainbow, so does it exist? I think this question is the opposite of "if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around does it make a sound?" If a person IS around and SEES a rainbow, does it make a rainbow? Everything in your life that brings you to that spot to see that instantly unique rainbow helped create the rainbow. Any rainbow is indistinguishable from the rest of the universe, through all time. The only reason we can is because the senses of the body lie. so it is with all things. also, it sucks how they've made thinking about rainbows such a cliche we dare not do it. Next week, a meditation on lollipops. the game is gold and im off to the sierra mountains for three days of hiking, camping, and soul-searching. Either soul-searching or beer.
