I got a message from the Oracle earlier this week when I opened my kitchen blind thinking “strange light this morning”.
The first thing she gave me today was the title, and the rest of the words fell quickly right into place.
The rainbow lasted about 10 minutes. Our local online newsletter was filled with photos that day.
bending air, a bridge–
rampant hues filling the gap
between heaven and earth
For Frank Tassone’s #haikai challenge #145, wild iris. I had promised Jade I would look for some of my old iris drawings, but I also found this rainbow spirit that somehow resembles an iris–Iris is the Greek rainbow goddess, messenger and link between mortal and deity.
The drawings are from one of my many abandoned projects, taking a journal from 1989, and doing something similar (at that time in 2015) and comparing them. 1989 is on the left, 2015 is on the right. If I could buy a bouquet, I would try it again right now, as both were done from live flowers. Maybe next year.
