We had a mother of an electrical storm early this evening, complete with awesome zigzags of lightning ripping the sky apart which were accompanied by reverberating booms of thunder that would have sent our dog Churchie running under the bed to hide, were he still alive.
The cosmic rock concert lasted all of 10, 15 minutes and then it just rained.
Being Singaporeans used to tropical thunderstorms, most of us didn't think much of it and carried on with our day ... until we made our way home after work.
For the hugest, most perfect and gorgeous rainbow adorned our sky.
Sitting in the car with Brian as he drove along the expressway, we both saw the rainbow at the same time and we both gasped at its size and beauty.
Despite our tropical weather, we don't often see rainbows after a storm here in Singapore. The ones that we do have always appeared more far away and, hence, fainter in colour.
But this one was a gigantic, clearly defined arc with the most brilliant, vibrant colours. It was just so in-your-face, and I've never seen anything like it.
Even through our rain-dappled windscreen, its magnificence was breathtaking. I couldn't take my eyes off it.
When we got home, it was just about 7 and still light (a rare occurrence for me, as I don't often get home till about 8pm). But what made it extra wonderful was that the rainbow was still visible, and now it seemed to arch right in front of our home.
The moment we got out of the car, we could see it in its entirety, in full, glorious technicolour.
We called Jordan out to look at it, and these pictures were taken by him, with his camera phone, from the stoop outside our apartment.
We got even more excited when we saw that the rainbow had a "double" arching over it. Its colours were fainter, and it wasn't a complete arc, but still it was there.
For almost five minutes, the three of us stood gazing up at this beautiful, awe-inspiring proof of God's power of creation and love. I don't know if Brian and Jordan realised it, but we were all buzzed by the high-voltage rainbow energy and light.
We watched some birds fly across the sky, as if trying to touch that beautiful arc of light and colour, and then the sun went down. All too soon, the rainbow "lost" half its arch before swiftly disappearing from view.
I thank God for this very special gift today -- a truly up-close-and-personal healing with rainbow light and energy.
And I believe that all who were beneath this rainbow today, whether we were standing outdoors admiring it or cooped up in cars or buildings, oblivious to it, received a dose of healing energy and light. It was that powerful.
Even now, as I write this, I can still feel the buzz of rainbow energy running through me. What a high.
And oh yes, I've fallen in love with God all over again.
More pictures (taken by me)!!
