I always followed the rainbow, and its graceful arc across the sky. The colors of the spectrum are beautiful to the eye. Yet, I was also focused, and resolved to find that pot of gold - more than mere colored light, something solid to have and hold. You may be a step ahead of me, and already know the story. I never found that pot of gold in this allegory. Leprechauns are known to mislead, and now that I am old, many years of experience say, rainbows don't go with gold. It's gold that is intangible, never to be shown, and the rainbow you can have and hold. I guess this, you've always known.
