Let us look at everything in life as we look at a rainbow:

in awe of its beauty and rejoicing in its improbability

A rainbow is so unlikely a thing to be, to exist. If you had never seen one and you read of one in a book or saw it in a picture, you would think it was fantasy, someone with an amazing imagination had invented this. No one would ever think to predict rainbows, and yet they exist. We see them. Having seen them, of course, we set about explaining them and with some scientific explanation we feel somehow contented, not threatened. Then we begin to look at the rainbow not with the innocent eyes of a child but with the clouded eyes of someone full of knowledge and theories, full of second-hand information about life. Of course a rainbow is so beautiful that usually it snaps us out of this dulled way of seeing the world. For a moment we are directly perceiving life again. Feeling the beauty, suddenly our worries have disappeared for a moment.

There is no reason why we should not see everything in life in this way, directly, as if for the first time, and in that space of awareness everything is amazing, awesome, fresh, alive, vital. Also, there is an improbability in even the smallest thing when seen from this innocent perspective and with that sense of improbable comes a feeling of happiness, gratitude and appreciation that this improbable thing actually is. Now, you may find a blade of grass probable but that's only because you're familiar with seeing blades of grass, you have done so many times before and probably you will many times again. But if you come to live in the moment, then a blade of grass is something new and incredible, fantastic, and very, very beautiful. A single blade of grass will evoke such joy when seen this way.

In case you think all this talk of improbability is rather odd, dwell on this my friends, how probable is it that there should be anything at all: any universe, any creation or big bang, anything. For if you insist on living in the logical mind, nothing at all is so much more likely. Yet here we are living in a universe with an unbounded variety. Come to appreciate this again, as once we did when we were new in the world. It is only our habitual mind that masks us from the beauty that is all around, everywhere, at all times. Look at the world afresh, my friends, see the beauty in a blade of grass that you see in a rainbow and your life will feel fulfilled once again.
