Rainbow, symbolising luck and hope, I have been following it since I was young. If I catch one rainbow, I try to catch another, and 'catching a rainbow' was repeated over and over again in life.
Suddenly, I got tired of chasing a rainbow, so I sat down and looked back. I turned around and found the rainbows I had picked up filling the sky. It was all about a rainbow world.
I realised that the rainbow was not an ideal far away, but that my life, which had already been working hard toward it, was coloured like wallpaper.
I won't try to catch the rainbow as I get tired. I will just try to happily follow it.

행운과 희망을 상징하는 무지개, 나는 그 무지개를 어릴 때 부터 좇고 있었다. 하나의 무지개를 잡으면 또 다른 무지개를 잡으려 하고 '무지개 잡기'는 삶 안에서 계속 반복되었다.
어느 순간 무지개를 좇는 것에 지쳐서 주저 앉고 뒤를 돌아보았다. 돌아보니 내가 주워온 무지개들이 하늘을 채우고 있었다. 온통 무지개 세상이었다.
무지개는 멀리 있는 이상이 아니라 이미 열심히 무지개를 향해 달려온 나의 삶에 배경화면처럼 물들어 있다는 것을 깨달았다.
무지개를 지쳐가면서까지 잡으려고 하지 않는다. 그저 즐겁게 따라 가보려 한다.
