This particular rainbow failed to confirm that old assumption when I came across it on an otherwise quiet Sunday morning wander through the neighborhood, but I smiled all the same.
Because unlike a real rainbow, this one wasn't generated by a specific convergence of atmospheric conditions. Rather, it materialized out of the imagination of unseen children, who were doubtless still asleep, dreaming up their next community beautification project.
I said a quiet thank you as we walked on past, content in the knowledge that tomorrow's generation hasn't forgotten how to play in the real world, and still knows how to restore hope among those who share this planet with them.
Maybe the pot of gold is a metaphorical thing, anyway, because whatever I found at the end of this particular rainbow was infinitely more real to my mood than mythical metallic leftovers could ever hope to be.
