Swimming with a rainbow

This fish is rather large. It just lived it´s own life in my hands and went for big.

The fish has served as a symbol when christians where threatened by romans in the first centuries after Christ.

When a christian met a stranger, she sometimes drew one arc of a simple fish outline in the dirt. If the stranger drew the other arc, both believers knew they were in good company.

I wish there where a clever way to find out who you can trust. And who you can´t trust. There should be a sign to tell if a person is going to hurt you. That would spare us for a lot of hurting and time to build us up.

But we need to trust ourselves and our own feelings. And we get hurt over and over again. That´s the price we pay to live near other people.

But there´s a lot of hope in this: We learn every time someone is hurting us. And what doesn´t kill us, makes us stronger.
