I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees, leaves &#8211; without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">BLUE interrupted: &#8220;You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">YELLOW chuckled: &#8220;You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet: &#8220;I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and pawpaws. I don&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">RED could stand it no longer. He shouted out: &#8220;I am the ruler of all of you &#8211; I am blood &#8211; life&#8217;s blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">PURPLE rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: &#8220;I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question\u00a0me they listen and obey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Finally, INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: &#8220;Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast,\u00a0for prayer and inner peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening &#8211; thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear,\u00a0drawing close to one another for comfort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: &#8220;You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don&#8217;t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another\u00a0and come to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued: &#8220;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. The rainbow is a sign of\u00a0hope for tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.\u00a0 The gift of knowing each life touches so many others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">With Infinite Love and Gratitude<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wholelottaloveland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/mels-love-land-melanie-lutz-rainbow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1536\" src=\"https:\/\/wholelottaloveland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/mels-love-land-melanie-lutz-rainbow.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Mel's Love Land Melanie Lutz Rainbow\" width=\"425\" height=\"239\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Today is DAY 56 of MEL\u2019S LOVE LAND #NEXT100\u00a0APPRECIATE EACH OTHER<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">For more information check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.melanielutz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.melanielutz.com<\/a>\u00a0all systems love AND if you want to get INVOLVED<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Take Mel\u2019s Love Land Pledge!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">(Repeat after Me)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>For the #Next100 Days I am going to consider the possibility there is another way\u2026.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>(add whatever \u2018feels right\u2019 allow it to be your reality even if it is just for one moment, revel in the idea that there is another way to look at it and allow yourself the privilege of true sight beyond your perceptions because whatever follows \u2018I will consider the possibility there is another way\u2019 will be the direction that you set \u2013 make it count)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take today to\u00a0release any attachment to grandiosity, to enjoy the way we are all connected. \u00a0Remember the story of the Colors.
