a photo i posted at the beginning of the year, now with words

WHIRLING RAINBOW/SUNBOW

Science: a Sunbow or halo is caused by refraction, reflection,
and dispersion of light through ice particles suspended in thin, wispy, high altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.
Light passes through hexagon-shaped ice crystals, bends
at a 22° angle, creating a 360-degree rainbow. The prism
effect through six-sided ice crystals separates light into color
frequencies, with red on the inside and blue on the outside.

Spirit: some Native American wisdom keepers and Tibetan
monks share similar beliefs about a Whirling Rainbow or
Sunbow, considering it a sign from the Great Spirit, a time of
great change on Earth, a time of the necessity to live in respect
and harmony with all creations that make life possible: plants,
animals, waters, minerals, fires, winds, and other human beings.

While science gives us facts the Native Americans and Tibetan Monks provided the heart and sole in their understanding of things.
Such an amazing photo.
