For some time I have been looking at the sky with a prying eye.
It is not often that we see occurrences of the rare kind such as lost balloons floating in the open sky or a glimpse of a glistening rainbow not to mention a daylight meteor; these days airplanes are quite often seen in the sky but still we look up as they tend to draw our attention - I mean, people flying up high in the air?! Still an amazing thought!
Each one of these appearances and many other certainly have their divinatory significance.
You can look at different colours of lost balloons floating about and give them significance even though there may be no significance at all - it really is just a balloon sending off on its way - but I believe the underlying reality of it is in your own awareness opening up and being reminded of something, ex. preciousness of life or impermanence or something.
All of these things: airplanes, balloons, meteors, rainbows etc. are, in my opinion, augurgies of your enlightened wake-up call. How regularly are we stuck with our noses in the stale air around us? Sniffing up our own and other peoples farts?!
Looking up to the sky is a reminder of our insignificance and immediacy in a much greater space. To see a single balloon (or collection of balloons) floating in the far distance of a very large sky can be a recollection of one's own very lonely path in life (even though you may have tons of support and friendship you are always on your own path).
Snap out of it! that is why we have these things to drew our attention back to the greater picture; i.e. this is why we have the ability to recognise the vast space of our minds...
