Just looked out the window and caught the last moments of this glimmering rainbow, which may prove a muse for the rest of the day!In Greek mythology, the rainbow was considered to be a path made by a messenger between Earth and Heaven. For the Chinese the rainbow was a slit in the sky sealed by Goddess Nüwa using stones of five different colours. A Hindu legend is that the rainbow is the bow of Kama, the God of love. And of course, the Irish leprechaun's secret hiding place for his pot of gold is said to be at the end of the rainbow. But our fav is from Mesopotamia where the rainbow is the "jewelled necklace of the Great Mother Ishtar" that she lifts into the sky.
For a little more rainbow lovin' check out this from Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Magic.
