If you're wondering why the title, it might not be worth much wondering. To keep things simple, I saw a rainbow on my way home from 3rd language. But then, as you might know me by now, I crave and enjoy deep meanings, and this apparently, might just be the tip of the iceberg.
Storm's End
You once told me of a pain
That which flowed through you
One with your blood, your soul
Never to be removed
You wandered through those days
When oceans descended from the heavens
Accompanied by flashes and roars
Seemingly with no end
You stood still in the gales
Robbing your warmth away
You said everywhere felt the same
Even with their Sun
He reached out his hand
The winds and water stopped
Trembling before their master
As he approached his creation
Relucatant at first, you took hold of his hand
The darkness ceased, bright warmth returned
In the sky a spectrum of joy
Seven colours chosen by the Master
It ended at last, with Him beside
Never to leave, never to forget
Like His beauty in the sky
His wonders know no end

Together
It has been a long while, but at last, we are whole.
As they say, God works in mysterious ways, and indeed He does. We don't remember when our seperation occurred, but throughout this time, He's been slowly putting us back together, allowing different viewpoints to surface along the way. Now I guess we understand that sometimes one needs to walk through darkness to understand light, and we are we no longer, just me.
I've been filled with the reason I've been searching for so long, maybe I had it before, but I guess it's been too long. As believed, this reason is not from this world, but way beyond it, understandably acceptable. It is He who has united the halves, no more conflict, no more pain from those wars, we are finally one, a single being pieced together from 2 broken halves. Many more miracles lay ahead,

Thoughts
As with the ascension to the 4th year, time becomes an even more scarce luxury. Despite some committments for the next day, we have decided to post some interesting ideas.
Just recently, we began pondering about numbers. Let's say 4, it is easily understood what is meant by 4 cats, 4 dogs, etc. But, remove the cats and dogs, can one say, "I have 4"? It raises questions like 4 what? Period. Now think about it a little more deeply, what exactly is 4? Since our childhood we've been taught that it is a numerical value, a positive integer, whole number, etc. But what does it mean? What is 4 to us? Is it just this symbol "4", wouldn't it mean the same as "four", or even "IV"?
Perhaps it might be similar to Jean Baudrillard's arugment of a hyperreality (or the absence of a reality). He argues that the images of reality have ultimately replaced reality itself, espacially with the use of the internet. We recognise "4", "four" and even "IV" as the numerical value four. Taking a page out of Baudrillard's book, these are what he says are the successive phases of the image:
1. It is the reflection of a basic reality
2. It masks and perverts a basic reality
3. It masks the absence of a basic reality
4. It bears no relation to any reality whatever; it is its own pure simulacrum
Now think about this in relation to 4. First, these symbols are a good representation of the numerical value of 4. We see them in our math books, the papers, everywhere. They pretty much perfectly represent 4. But then, to say those symbols pervert and mask the "reality" of 4, is not exactly entirely false. Since we have no clue as to what exactly is this "four", aren't we distorting what it is by defining it with those symbols that actually have a form? Thirdly, to say the symbols mask the absence of such a thing as "four" is quite true as well. Since we have no clue what this "four" is, could it be it is because it doesn't exist? And lastly, perhaps it is actually a simulation, it doesn't even represent anything, since we have no idea what those symbols are even trying to represent.
Hope we haven't entangled your mind too much, do try to enjoy it though.
