Donde termina el arco iris, en tu alma o en el horizonte? Where does the rainbow end, in your soul or on the horizon?
Interpretation
The quote suggests a contemplation on the nature of dreams and aspirations, questioning whether they are found within us or in the distant future.
Pablo Neruda's quote invites us to reflect on our aspirations and the concept of fulfillment. The metaphor of the rainbow, often associated with hope and beauty, raises the question of whether our deepest desires are rooted in our inner selves or if they lie perpetually out of reach on the horizon. It emphasizes the duality of our search for happiness, suggesting that what we seek might be both an internal journey and an external pursuit.
In practice
In a graduation speech about pursuing your dreams and internal aspirations.
Perhaps this war will pass like the others which divided us leaving us dead, killing us along with the killers but the shame of this time puts its burning fingers to our faces. Who will erase the ruthlessness hidden in innocent blood?

Everything is deception: seeking the minimum of illusion, keeping within the ordinary limitations, seeking the maximum. In the first case one cheats the Good, by trying to make it too easy for oneself to get it, and the Evil by imposing all too unfavorable conditions of warfare on it. In the second case one cheats the Good by keeping as aloof from it as possible, and the Evil by hoping to make it powerless through intensifying it to the utmost.
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.
For, after all, if it is from Christ that we are to learn how God relates himself to sin, suffering, evil, and death, it would seem that he provides us little evidence of anything other than a regal, relentless, and miraculous enmity; sin he forgives, suffering he heals, evil he casts out, and death he conquers. And absolutely nowhere does Christ act as if any of these things are part of the eternal work or purposes of God.
