Rainbow of Desires

The rain ceased only moments before I gazed out the window to see a beautiful rainbow. The colors were so bright: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This rainbow was unlike any rainbow I had witnessed before. It wasn’t just a spectrum of light in the sky; it appeared to be a tangible mass floating in the atmosphere. I was drawn outside to experience its splendor. I stared into the distance at the arc in the sky and noticed it gracefully moving in my direction. I was frozen with awe. My heart began to beat faster. My body temperature began to rise; but not out of fear. Instead, I felt excitement. The rainbow got closer and closer until it was nearly hovering over my head. I looked up and could see this mass did not only hold a spectrum of colors, but a broadcast of my desires was projected onto the bright layers. I saw every place I wanted to visit and places I had visited in the past. My dreams for the future and my passions were clearly shown to me. I saw myself owning a home. I saw myself out of debt. I saw my future husband. I saw an adorable baby. I saw my future career. I saw the mending of broken relationships. I began to feel so much joy and then the rainbow of desires hovered directly above me. I extended my hand upward as far as I could. I jumped as high as I could in an effort to reach my dreams, but the rainbow was too high for me to reach. I tried several more times with no luck. The alluring arc was close enough for me to see, but too high for me to touch. I didn’t give up. There was too much as stake for me to let my dreams pass me by. Suddenly, something came over me and I knew deep down inside that those dreams belonged to me. I openly received my desires without fear or doubt. I reached my hand upward and jumped one more time and securely grabbed onto the violet band. 

Victory was mine. I felt so much joy. The only thing that was standing in the way of me reaching my dreams was me. I was finally able to get out of my own way and receive what I deserved.
