Rainbows are not things we can touch — they are visions that appear when sunlight and rain meet at just the right angle, forming an arc of color suspended in the sky. But beyond their beauty lies a deeper truth: rainbows exist only through relationship — between light, water, and the eye of the beholder.
In this week’s Tiny Portal, we explore the rainbow as both a scientific phenomenon and a poetic symbol. We dive into the optics of reflection, refraction, and dispersion — and how these physical processes give rise to something so ephemeral, so beloved, and so personal. No two people ever see the same rainbow. You cannot chase it. You cannot reach it. But you can be touched by it.
Through myth, metaphor, and wonder, this episode invites you to consider what the rainbow teaches us about perception, beauty, and the fleeting nature of magic. A reminder that even after a storm, the sky may still find a way to smile.

This episode is paired with a soft, sweeping yin practice inspired by water, light, and color. We move through the chakra system — each energy center resonating with a hue of the rainbow — to invite alignment, flow, and inner radiance. You can find the practice at The Artist’s Temple.
