What Color are Your Relationships?

 

Colors have meaning.

And here is a meditation on colors and how they relate to relationships. . .

Today I choose and look to friendships with a hue of deep, turquoise or royal blue. . . .

Like a sky and sea blending into each other with a host of cumulus clouds above. . . .

There is peace, there is continuity in the ebb and flow, kind of like the coming-in and going-out of the ocean’s tide.

I prefer these relationships, where trust is hard-fought, steady, and sure, to any pink cotton-candy fluff—as in a Facebook “like” or “thumbs-up” or all the glittery love songs on the radio.

Instead of floating up into the clouds like the Light Princess (see George Macdonald), I choose somewhere in the middle, holding steady and true, ready to rise and fall according to the need/desire of the moment.

A cool blue rather than a hot pink or loud yellow.

I choose to look past the latest fad to the time-held truths of stability and traditional values and knowledge. . .

Life can be a journey and it only makes sense to seek out the meaning in it—seek out the truths—the things our world and culture have hidden.  (Check out “A Place to Stand” and “Damascus Road” by Rich Mullins).
