When you're gazing at a rainbow, what you're really seeing is the collected light from millions and millions of different raindrops in that one fleeting moment. Move a little to the left or the right, and you are looking at new raindrops and thus, a new rainbow!

So even if you're seemingly admiring the same rainbow with your friend, the two of you are actually seeing different rainbows.

Each rainbow is your very own.


Just like how looking at stars is looking at the past, since those starlight came from far far away a few light years ago - that the light you're seeing NOW is a star that might not be existing NOW.

How mystical. Such as watching a person grow and progress. It's a beautiful experience, if not humbling.

To see that person really change for the better, helping others. You feel so comforted.
