Round the Rainbow Way

A L O H A !


click, CLICK I say on these rainbows
It seems we have rainbows every morning.
Here's the ever popular "double."



" The sun, the earth,
love, friends, 
our very breath
are parts of the banquet. "

Rebecca H. Davis








This one touched ground right beneath my lanai (balcony)


"... and it's that if I ever go looking
for my heart's desire again,
I won't look any further 
than my own backyard;
because if it isn't there,
I never really lost it to begin with. "

Dorothy, 
Wizard of OZ









Look!


" Walk on a rainbow trail; 
walk on a trail of song, 
and all about you will be beauty.
 There is a way out of every dark mist, 
over a rainbow trail. "
 
Andra Davis






the whole circle!


" Somewhere, over the rainbow, 
skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream 
really do come true. "

E.y Harburg
Over The Rainbow
 










can we really see BOTH ends?!



"When one is willing
and able
the gods join in."

Aeschylus










Yes! See it reaching down into the intersection?

" Toto, 
I've a feeling 
we're not in Kansas anymore. 
We must be
over the rainbow! "
 
Dorothy

Hawaii is the land of rainbows.
We even have
MoonBows.
And, as I say,
we have friendly rainbows
on the mountain side
just about every morning .

But I have
N E V E R
seen the 
Whole Circle of the Rainbow
before
!


You know. . . 
Seems like
I have always lived
in the future.


That is, I have seen 
difficulties ahead,
when conventional wisdom
didn't.

I won't bore you
with a list of world affairs
over which I have been
vilified,
and then proven
right,
by events, results,
history.


Long have I been worried
about rising inequality
here in America.


Let's call it
the Problem of Greed.



Finally,
conventional wisdom
is noticing this root
of our many world problems.


As usual,
I find myself seeing
ahead;



And what I am seeing
at long last
looks positive.



Enough people changed minds
and the Berlin Wall came down
without a shot.





The Next Big Thing
will be revolution
in how we treat
each other-
ALL over the 
world.





Elites
are
over.







And 
they
know it.







That's why they are looting
public wealth
on their way
out
the 
door
of history.









I've been right before.


We will 
overcome greed
and politics
with smart 
love.



You might call it 
Aloha.



Perhaps we see the rainbow's end
 with it's legendary treasure
at last.


And not only that 
we discover that
the rainbow is not just
"up  there"
in the sky.


No, 



The rainbow is a 
trail,
a full circle
that
we could not know
or see
before.


The rainbow of fulfillment
begins to form around us
even now.






The 
Rainbow of True Wealth
IS
Us
!
" When the Earth is sick,
the animals will begin to disappear, 
when that happens, 
The Warriors of the Rainbow
will come to save them. "

Chief Seattle

  1. Fantastic pictures. Fancy one touching ground beneath your balcony! I've only once seen the end of a rainbow, and it wasn't beneath my balcony. It was in a graveyard.

  10. Cloudia -- Now that you're up the clouds, you have a wonderful collection of rainbows. Betcha got some in da pocket, too. It's a rainbow walking through downtown buildings...like a pleasant King Kong. Hope the Hawaiian Warriors can encourage APEC folks to consider peace within the world. It's even sunny in Kansas today, but it started with frost on my windshield and 36 degrees....DrumMajor

  23. Thank you for filling my day with rainbows and hope.

    The first time I went to Hawaii I was greeted with a rainbow and a spouting whale as the plane circled to land. Truly a beautiful place.

    A rainbow warrior sounds so much better than the traditional sort.
