rainbows!

I remember when I was a kid, I used to wait impatiently for the rain to stop so that I could search out a rainbow in the sky. It was a beautiful sight to see the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. AS a kid, it was something really worth waiting for and when I finally spotted the rainbow, I'd go "waaahhhh......." from its beauty.

Then as I grew up, I never even took notice of any rainbow. Not until a little boy showed me a rainbow that could be found in a place I never knew could create a rainbow. The best part about this rainbow is that you don't even need it to rain for the rainbow to appear. I hope I have piqued your interest! =0)

This rainbow appeared in the place you'd least expect it to appear. The rainbow appeared one morning when my friend wanted to feed his 3 year old son some cereal. As he was about to spoon feed his kid, his son suddenly looked at time wide-eyed and went, "Pa Pa, rainbow! Rainbow!" while pointing at my friend's forehead.

The rainbow the 3 year old was referring to were the wrinkles on my friend's forehead as he lifted his eyebrows to keep his spectacles from falling own as he spoon fed his kid. That's when I knew rainbows don't just come out after the rain!

It was funny and cute when I saw that little kid go "Pa Pa, rainbow! Rainbow!". It wasn't just about a little kid imagining a rainbow on his dad's forehead. It showed me that even the simplest of things like lines on skin can become something creative.

It was refreshing because it goes to show how differently a little kid like him views the world around him. Looking at something that is already beautiful and saying it's beautiful is merely stating the obvious like telling me A B C is A B C. But to look at something ordinary and to find beauty in it. That's something out of the ordinary.

I guess that's how famous painters paint a simple subject that is yet beautiful and eye catching. The same can be found in photographs taken by photographers, where you find the simplest of subjects like a man sitting on a walkway or a bird on a tree but yet when you look at the picture, it tells a compelling story.

It's about looking at things from a different perspective. You can still find rainbows even if it doesn't rain!
