A Sign Or Just A Rainbow?
by: Rachelle Disbennett-Lee, PhD
I believe in signs. I think what seems random or a coincidence
is actually a sign. A sign can mean anything you want it to mean,
such as "Times are getting better!" Or "Hang in
there!" Signs are personal messages we receive from the universe.
If we pay attention, signs will appear.
I took my dogs for a walk right after a thunderstorm. We rounded
a bend and saw two amazing rainbows stretched across the sky.
I had lamented days before that I hadn't seen any rainbows this
summer, and I really would enjoy seeing one. I knew it was a sign
when I saw the two rainbows so majestically hanging in the sky.
A little neighborhood girl rode her bike up next to me, as I was
admiring the rainbows, and I said to her, "It is a sign."
She replied, "No! It is just a rainbow." Well, to her
it was just a rainbow. To me it was a sign, and that is all that
matters. Others may not recognize the signs meant just for us,
but that doesn't make the message any less important.
A friend lost her husband to a terminal disease. She was distraught
over the loss and was having a challenging time coping. She came
across a sports jersey during a walk, spread across a rock. The
jersey was from her husband's favorite team and the number was
that of his favorite player. She took the jersey as a sign that
everything was going to be okay. Was it a sign or just a jersey?
It doesn't matter. It gave my friend comfort and solace, and that
is what matters most. We can find signs all around us if we look
for them and drop the judgment of whether it is a sign or just
a random coincidence. Maybe, if we don't see it as a sign, the
message was meant for someone else.
Life provides all kinds of signs; we simply have to be open
and ready to recognize them. Signs come in myriad forms and often
look like ordinary things to those who do not understand the significance
of the sign. However, if you are open minded to the concept, you
will see the sign and receive the message. If you don't believe
in signs, that is fine. You won't see them.
