Noach<\/a><\/em><\/p>\nCreating Rainbows<\/p>\n
Clouds.<\/p>\n
We know how they\u2019re formed.<\/p>\n
A. Water fills the earth\u2019s streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.<\/p>\n
B. The sun\u2019s rays evaporate some of the water,<\/p>\n
C. Droplets rise to form clouds (which eventually yield rain back to the earth).<\/p>\n
Now, let\u2019s phrase it differently: Clouds represent the Earth\u2019s \u2018feedback\u2019 to the skies, bringing welcome precipitation to our environment, creating overcast days, and sometimes bringing storms to shake our world.<\/p>\n
A little deeper:<\/p>\n
The \u2018heavens\u2019 – the sky for the purpose of this conversation – represents G-d, while the Earth represents Humanity. And the clouds, hovering between Heaven and Earth, represent our behavior; our behavior is our feedback to G-d, our response to His gift of life.<\/p>\n
G-d created us for a purpose: To make this a better [Holy] world. We can either acknowledge \u2013 and try to live by – that mission, or we can ignore it and live in misalignment with our core selves. Either way, we\u2019re sending up clouds.<\/p>\n
So what do we do when we feel that life is overcast?<\/p>\n
We look for a rainbow, and they only occur when the clouds aren\u2019t too thick and opaque. When our lives are heavily centered on self-focus, we leave no space for the rainbows. Living a good life means thinking about purpose. When we stop asking ourselves \u201cwhat do I want out of life?\u201d and begin asking \u201cwhat does life want out of me?\u201d we allow a bright ray of G-dliness to shine through.<\/p>\n
When you stand at the right attitudinal angle, looking at your day with the right perspective, you can catch the majesty of the Rainbow. And it has a message from G-d: \u201cLet Me shine through; I\u2019ll show you the beauty that can be found in the diverse challenges I give you. Just let your life\u2019s droplets refract My light.\u201d<\/p>\n
Position yourself wisely. And look for that rainbow.
\nShabbat Shalom!
