Here is a sample story: 

 

POT OF GOLD

 

In August of 2008, I decided to attend a Shamanic event in Newfoundland.

 

Our group had the pleasure of staying at a lovely B&B that was located at the far north corner of a small village community. The B&B dining area faced due west with a sandy beach directly in front of it.

 

Later in the week, our group was having an early morning breakfast with other people who had also stayed at the B&B.

 

I was sitting facing the water which is known as the Gulf of St. Lawrence. I so enjoyed gazing at the ocean. I live on the mainland and the closest body of water is several hours drive away.

 

As I gazed, I thought: “Who knows… I might sight a whale or dolphin passing by.”

 

What I saw that morning was a magnificent full arching Rainbow! It spread from one end of the village cove to the other end. As I sat there observing this view, I wondered where the end of the Rainbow was.

 

Instead what I saw was a reflection of the Rainbow on the water. I followed its course to discover it came to the beach, continued on the sand, and went to the right of the B&B I was in! Hmm....I pondered this for a bit.

 

Then I wondered about the far side and looked to see what I might find. Sure enough it reflected on the water and up onto the beach to disappear just beyond the south end of the village. (It went beyond my view.) Well, I pondered this too, and then I realized the whole village including the B&B was within the circle of this Rainbow!

 

I could not be silent. This needed to be seen by all in the room. Yes, all! Even the people I did not know. I got their attention and then showed them what I continued to see.

 

A lady to my right said, “I thought there was a Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow!” I paused for a moment and then silently I placed my hands over my heart.

 

She said, “Oh, I get it!” She smiled as if to say, “Our hearts are the Pot of Gold!”

I nodded my head.

 

Had the Rainbow not been so large, I would have loved to take a photo. Frankly, to be in the circle of this magnificent Rainbow was more than a gift in itself!

 

What would it feel like for you if you found yourself within the circle of a Rainbow?
