the soul is a dark forest

 As Heraclitus said, "You would not discover the limits of the soul although you traveled every road; it has so deep a logos..."

But modern man has identified himself with the little clearing of the known self. Outside that clearing is a great dark forest, and beyond lies the greater wilderness that is the world itself. Man shines his flashlight into it and imagines that outside the corona of his beam there is only void. And "lumber" is the clever word he uses to describe the tiny bit he illuminates.

Rare Fire Rainbows: It looks like a rainbow on fire but these circumhorizontal arcs aren’t rainbows. They are caused by light passing through high-altitude cirrus clouds. The sun has to hit the clouds at precisely 58 degrees and have just enough crystals in order to form in the sky.

I have totally seen this! It formed right over a mountain in Breckenridge, CO. Beautiful.
