"The Rainbow Connection"


Recently we had a really blue day. Mid-day my husband and went to a local favorite restaurant hoping to turn our blues around. As we sat at the bar waiting for out table "The rainbow connection" played in the background -- It brought a smile to my face, as it is another song that really resonates in my heart everytime I hear it.


In memory of Lorenzo. We love you dear sweet boy...


Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star?Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,And look what it's done so far.What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing And what do we think we might see?Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,We know that it's probably magic...
... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?I've heard them calling my name.... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?The voice might be one and the sameI've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm s'posed to be...Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,La laa la la laa dee daa doo...

7/7/07
This morning someone told me that today was a holy day. Holy Day? While I understood the mathematical phenomenon of the date today I did not understand how it was a HOLY day. So, I looked it up...
According to Michael Hoggard's "By Divine Order, Scripture Numerics and BibleProphecy" ( http://www.fillthevoid.org/Apologetics/number7MikeHoggard.html), "The number 7 is God's very own number, and is associated with Divine completion and perfection. It becomes apparent to most who read the Scriptures that the number 7 is the most significant number in all of the Scriptures." Who knew?


In any event, besides being my family member's birthday, today carried on as a normal day to me. As I usually do, I opened our front door for some fresh air this morning. And, as usual, once again, someone left a business card offering "landscaping services" - (Ha! What are they trying to tell us?) And, as usual, I got annoyed and was ready to throw the card into the recycle bin. However, it was a very nice card (glossy color copy) so I chose to read it. The business name was "DE LOS SANTOS" landscaping. The backside read "ASK FOR LORENZO" - Whoa!


So what is the "DE LOS SANTOS" translation to english? Basically it translates into "OF THE SAINTS". I felt warm and fuzzy inside and joked with my husband that I "ask for Lorenzo" everyday! I let it go at that. Not long after that we got in the car to run to the local mall. After channel surfing I came across the tail end of one of thee key songs that I seemed to hear over and over again after Lorenzo's passing. Now we all have emotional attachments to certain songs once in a while, but there was something literally electrifying in my soul when I heard this song (Maroon5's "She will be loved" -http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/maroon5/shewillbeloved.html) Note that this song has been out of pop radio rotation for quite sometime. Ahh....confirmed. I knew... there was definitely significance to today afterall.


I love you my dear son.
