At the Crack…
Toronto, Ontario
At the crack of dawn pink skies and blue clouds danced about. Then a cloud released a drop here and a drop there that hit the surface of our faces and shoulders. It was as if the sun was arresting those clouds. But those candy flossed giants pulled free. Then, behind us in the westerly direction came a rare and beautiful silent self invited sky guest. The song ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ took on a new meaning. There beyond a glorious arch of a rainbow came a second rainbow.
That’s exactly what we saw. Spanning the entire city were two arched wonders, one on top of the other.
“Awesome!” said a neighbour who was walking his dog and passed by us. The mere vision humbled us all including dog and master. This put us on common ground turf.
“Of course there’s no God,” was the sarcasm blurted out by myself. Whether God or nature (how can you separate?), we were being pulled together. No pot of gold was required as fairy tale or make believe mind set would have it. We were just happy looking at the sky.
Apurva, Praveen, Shanti and I were content to behold with our eyes those two unexpected visitors. We knew they were with us only momentarily, that became so evident as giant puffy clouds enveloped the sky. A light rain was now heard and not seen, nor hardly felt because by now in our promenade we were under green canopies of trees, they sheltered us like anything. They were natural roofs until we maneuvered our way out of the ravine’s foot path.
We really did feel like the happening was like a kid’s story book. As Apurva confirmed, “The colours and the fragrances – OMG. “
The area we were in was Rosedale where neighbourhood gardens endorse the surreal nature of our morning walk. We were definitely not indoors and we were definitely not on this planet. Catching a glimpse as to what will come in the future, we saw the spiritual world.
We hope and we wish.
