Our Own Personal Rainbow

February 27, 2025 by Mike Vitale in Brain Droppings, Life, Love

A rainbow. It requires three ingredients: moisture, sunlight, and consciousness. The latter. That is what I wish to speak about.

You may be familiar with the thought experiment “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

The rainbow is refracted light. However, it requires us to be seen. It requires an observer to be noticed in the fashion which I describe.

Scientifically, sunlight is being refracted through rain drops or mist or other such moisture, however, it is the observer who creates the rainbow. Without us observing it, there is no rainbow: there is just rain, and sunlight.

And, when you and I are standing next to each other, admiring that beautiful arc of color in sky, we do not see the same rainbow. It will be unique for either of us, depending on the location at which we are standing, relative to that phenomenon that appears to us in the sky.

A beautiful ghostly image, that disappears the moment we stop paying attention to it, or when the sun is obscured, or when it stops precipitating: whichever of those three come first.

Our own personal rainbow—and this notion, when understood, applies to much more than rainbows. 🌈

This is what I learned about life from two separate encounters with a bee | INSIDE my HEAD

This is what I learned about life from two separate encounters with a bee | INSIDE my HEAD

Today I was reminded of a story from 8 or 9 years ago. I had just got dumped. I was devastated. I wasn't initially. But, that's because I was in shock.

The aftermath... boy, was that complicated.

What is easier to discern, was that I was trying my very best to take all the hard knocks I was feeling, and to turn that into something positive: art.

I would write on the balcony a lot, in the morning as I drank coffee and smoked—and that's how I met the bees.
