We are connected in ways we can’t even imagine. \u00a0Don’t let your pin point of perception color your entire perspective. \u00a0Imagine the larger canvas of the world as you move through your days. \u00a0We are a part of the story as we are the star in that story.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the\u00a0story of the Colors.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel:\u00a0 all claimed that they were the best, the most important, the most useful, the favorite.<\/p>\n

GREEN said:\u00a0 “Clearly I am the most important.\u00a0 I am the sign of life and of hope.\u00a0 I was chosen for grass, trees, leaves – without me, all animals would die.\u00a0 Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.”\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BLUE interrupted:\u00a0 “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea.\u00a0 It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the couds from the deep sea.\u00a0 The sky gives space and peace and serenity.\u00a0 Without my peace, you would all be nothing.”<\/p>\n

YELLOW chuckled:\u00a0 “You are all so serious.\u00a0 I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world.\u00a0 The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow.\u00a0 Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile.\u00a0 Without me there would be no fun.”<\/p>\n

ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet:\u00a0 “I am the color of health and strength.\u00a0 I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life.\u00a0 I carry the most important vitamins.\u00a0 Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and pawpaws.\u00a0 I don’t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you.”<\/p>\n

RED could stand it no longer.\u00a0 He shouted out:\u00a0 “I am the ruler of all of you – I am blood – life’s blood!\u00a0 I am the color of danger and of\u00a0 bravery.\u00a0 I am willing to fight for a cause.\u00a0 I bring fire into the blood.\u00a0 Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon.\u00a0 I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy.”<\/p>\n

PURPLE rose up to his full height.\u00a0 He was very tall and spoke with great pomp:\u00a0 “I am the color of royalty and power.\u00a0 Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom.\u00a0 People do not question me they listen and obey.”<\/p>\n

Finally, INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination:\u00a0 “Think of me.\u00a0 I am the color of silence.\u00a0 You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial.\u00a0 I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water.\u00a0 You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.”<\/p>\n

And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority.\u00a0 Their quarreling became louder and louder.\u00a0 Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening – thunder rolled and boomed.\u00a0 Rain started to pour down relentlessly.\u00a0 The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.<\/p>\n

In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak:\u00a0 “You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest.\u00a0 Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different?\u00a0 Join hands with one another and come to me.”<\/p>\n

Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.\u00a0 The rain continued:\u00a0 “From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace.\u00a0 The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.<\/p>\n

smiles,<\/p>\n
