Blowing soap bubbles is always fun
Why do we find soap bubbles so mesmerizing? Perhaps because we are drawn to their fragility, their promise of a brief perfection—a wobbly, trembling architecture that seems to defy the rules of surface tension and time alike, if only for a few seconds. Maybe what we love most is the way a single breath becomes visible and impossibly beautiful.
I think the fragile bubbles teach us the joy of letting go. They were never meant to last, and so we invest them with more beauty than permanence ever permits. Or it could be that blowing bubbles simply offer us a rare opportunity to marvel at something beautiful. Whatever the secret, it is certain that no one, not even the most stone-hearted adult can suppress a smile when a rainbow-colored bubble floats free and lifts itself toward the sky.
