Color

It was there on the steps, waiting patiently to reveal a message inside.  Opening the yellow envelope, there wasn’t much feeling. Political nonsense dumped at the house before an election…and here was another.  Yet this one was different.  An impersonal letter sent to millions brought tears streaming down the face and an ache.  Lies.  Deception.  War.  This is not the United States.  Corruption…on both sides…but the twisting stories that pulls partial truths and uses trigger words with a prejudice hate undertone mixed with a touch of fear and a sweet drop of hope…enough to hide the ugly monster.     Stop.     Where is love? LOVE?  Kindness?  Traveling around the world and the US, I have been blessed by the kindness and love of others.  People are good. No...not perfect, but most are well meaning and the world is a spectacular, beautiful place.  

The Lyft driver doesn’t care…it “doesn’t effect him”.  He has lived several years on this earth and his hard work is what matters…not who is in charge.  

Disbelief. What?  Each of us that was born or lives in the US has been given an irreplaceable costly gift…a priceless one that only the elite of the world are blessed enough to receive.  Why are we throwing it away?

Is there another color out there that can’t be seen? A brand new color other than the ones experienced up to now?  Yes… each new soul interaction is a color…a new light or fragrance that broadens world views bringing a joy and filling the soul with aliveness and expansion of sight.  No, not tolerance, but LOVE.  There’s a difference.  

Where is the love? Why the fighting?  Who is the puppeteer?  How to we stop the corruption? History repeats and cycles again. Definitions of words change with time and my childhood identity has been turned into profanity.

What are you living for?  What is your purpose in life?  How can we make this world a better place?  Let’s connect our hearts to our minds and begin to critically think.  Don’t go with the flow.  Think outside the box while truly caring for those around you.
