Making Rainbows

The Gift of Kauai
by Rick Nichols

Sitting on a hill above Hanalei
watching rainbows grow from the bay.

They spring to life from the shimmering sea,
and climb the mountainside

like a vine of color, vivid and bright that could
light the darkest night

they wind their way to the clouds on high
then dive back down to the sea,
 
they hang for a while in the lively sky
shinning bright and joyously.

Then after a while they slowly fade
leaving not a trace behind.

“Where do they go?” I wonder aloud,
and like a flash the answer comes.

This is the place where the rainbows grow.
A kind of a rainbow farm.

Sown in the bay and reaped from the sky
by the playful Menehune,

little people with love in their hearts
who grow rainbows of beautiful light

And when they’re ripe and ready to ship
they nestle them snug in clouds

then wrap the clouds in silver twine
to keep them safe in time.

And gently hail Kauai breezes
fragrant soft and sweet

which wrap the clouds in loving arms
and whisk them all away

to far off lands of our Mother Earth-
to England, France and Perth  

To Scotland, Spain, and Calgary
and all the USA,

To Italy and far beyond
across the seven seas.

And then, on dark and stormy days
when Sun makes love to Clouds

hot passion rises high and wild
with thunder fire and more…

winds blow wild and thrash about
and finally find their bliss

And there they rest in afterglow,
the birth of a new rainbow.

 

Dear Hearts,

As self-appointed poet laureate and philosopher of the Heal Your Life family of teachers and coaches I’m always wondering about the nature of things. (if you don’t believe that just ask Patricia) There is a muse constantly sitting on my shoulder asking: why? how? where? what? who? do you suppose? wonder if? Now this would not be much of a problem except that I do my best to answer these questions -verbally – audibly – and oftentimes theocratically, complete with full expression and gesticulation. As you can imagine, considering that Patricia and I spend a lot of time together, my philosophical discussions with an invisible friend can can be, uh, well, humm, at least a bit distracting to her, especially when you consider that she is a trained psychologist at the doctorate level.

Armed with our lap tops, iPads, iPods, and cyber equipped phones, Patricia and I are enjoying a little “working holiday” here at Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii. While sitting on the lanai this morning watching rain falling on the bay the muse piped up and asked, “Where are the Rainbows?” As uasual I shared the question with Patricia. She replied with confidence, “Of course there are rainbows, you can’t see them yet but they are certanily out there.” Considering that Patricia is a master of affirmative manifestation we of course soon thereafter heard someone below shout, “Rainbow!”

Now we finely get to the point; The beautiful rainbow glowing in the morning sky reminded me of the above poem I wrote here on the bay a few years ago while we were leading an advanced teacher training. Near the end of the poem I mention a number of geographic locations which includes the homelands of al the participants of that Heal Your Life Advanced training. Please enjoy.

May your week be filled with rainbow colors in many ways, and remember, as they say here in Kauai, “No rain, no rainbows.”

Love and blessings,

Rick and Patricia
Namaste
