The Pot-of-Gold—Potential

The Ebb and Flow of Our Lives Through the Eyes of Metaphors
There are times in our life, when metaphors help us to make sense of how we are being guided by spirit to be the best we can be. In the month of April, I will be exploring the metaphors of my life and hopefully, you will find connections to your own life or to your own spiritual path. Or you will share with us the metaphors that guide your spirit, your muse, your way of being and way of knowing in this life we all share, on this earth we all call mother, on this journey we are all privy to.

The Pot-of-Gold--Potential

“In order to enjoy a rainbow, you have to accept the rain.”

Some will find it odd that I have the idea of chasing the Pot-of-Gold at the end of a rainbow as a metaphor for life, for it is a bit Quijotic, like fighting windmills, however, to me the pot-of-gold signifies our dreams and our ambitions, the essence of who we are. The pot-of-gold signifies our destiny, what we came here to do, what we are trying to accomplish, and as such, chasing it brings joy and exuberance.

Truly, it is in the journey that one finds ecstasy, not in the destination, so it is not in finding the pot-of-gold where you will find your potential or your destiny, it is on the rainbow, playing, running, laughing, and having a good time where you will find your bliss, your joy, your way of being and knowing in the world. It is there that you become aware of how to truly walk in this world at one with your soul and your spirit as your guide.

As you play on the rainbow, your destiny is miraculously unraveling the essence of who you are because your soul and your spirit are dancing by the light of the moon and the warmth of the sun. The rainbow shows you potential and how truly fun and engaging life can be when you living a life united with purpose and avocation.

"Unleashing the potential of the soul requires a pot of gold."

Yes, the pot-of-gold is just a metaphor and it has a lot to offer, because it signifies the wealth that we have within, the wealth we have when we follow our dreams, the wealth we have when our soul and spirit are united.

When do you feel united?
Have you been dancing, singing, and running on the rainbow of your dreams?
