Iris - Keeper of the Rainbow
Throughout the ages, the rainbow has been the symbol of hope, a promise of better things to come. The ancient Greeks personified the rainbow as the goddess, Iris, the favorite handmaiden and personal messenger of Hera, the queen of the heavenly court of Olympus. Carried by her shimmering wings, Iris travels so swiftly that mere mortals can see only the trail of her rainbow-colored passage across the sky.
Today I received a beautiful card - the graphic was amazing and it contained the beautiful sentiment above. I have always appreciated the magic of rainbows. From now on whenever I see one painted across the sky, I will smile not only because of its beauty but because it is a colorful, magical symbol of hope.
