Rainbows in Many Forms

Rainbow mountains in China’s Danxia Landform Geological Park.

Photo and lyrics are from an Onam dance in Amma‘s ashram in Amritapuri, India.

Though the rain may fall in the midst of a storm
The sun will lay upon the earth her blanket of warmth
This is the tempo to which nature plays her years
And through this progression a rainbow appears

Solidarity

In love, in faith, in honesty

Hearts beating together as One;

Amma’s vision

In love, in faith, in honesty

Amma’s children in unison

Seven colors uniting as One

A rainbow alliance of love

Amma’s vision

Opening My Eyes

I have often said that photography is opening my eyes to a whole different world. This tree has been inches from my upper deck for 40 years and I never noticed the blooms.

How could I miss them? They are so unusual. (The first two pictures were taken about two weeks apart…. by two different phone cameras.)

Sreejit on North India Tour

My son Sreejit has been helping with Amma’s North India tour since February 26. He hasn’t written for his blog, The Seeker’s Dungeon, during that time, but he has been posting pictures on his Twitter account. I have really enjoyed them and thought some of you might also be interested. You can find them at: @SreejitPoole. (You do not have to a member of Twitter to see them.)

Splash of Color

Justine’s challenge for this week was to present a photo, quote or poem representing “Splash of Color.” I decided to use a photo of the Fremont troll, which is a gigantic sculpture located under the Aurora Bridge in Seattle.
