My Rainbow

This photo encapsulates my hope for a brighter future. It was taken just two weeks after losing my wife of almost 38 years to one of life's most feared diseases. A lot of what you will read and see is directly due to the influence she had, and still has, on my life. This is a 'rainbow of hope' and a reminder that although some days are very dark and overcast, sometimes, just sometimes, a rainbow appears when you need it. Another reminder that life goes on meantime, but that we will meet up again sometime in the future. You will have gathered by now that we both had, and I still have, a faith to help me believe in a much brighter future, and a better place than this. I do not believe that we are here by an accident, or even the design of nature alone. Surely there is some arrogance in the argument that we control our own destiny totally, and that we have arrived at this point purely by evolving from a lesser state. I accept science, and the pursuit of knowledge, but sometimes think we are chasing our tails as we try to prove there is no God. There is a lot of evidence that there is a God, but no evidence that there is not! Of course the very nature of mankind is to continually try to prove something which by its own nature cannot be proven.
