Re: What Color Are You?
Poem Title: *Your True Colors*
Which color are you,
or your family
Today, are you...
1.
Beige like a field of wheat?
Beige as a pancake?
Beige like garlic cloves, or
Beige as the pages
Of an old book?
Might you be,
Beige like mashed potatoes?
2.
Are you,
Black as a coal mine?
Black like a funeral procession?
Black as a piano key, or
Black like a graduation gown?
Might you be,
Black as the space between galaxies?
3.
Are you,
Blue like a mountain lake?
Blue as a drowned corpse?
Blue like a Jazz note, or
Blue as a summer sky?
Might you be,
Blue like the tropical seas?
4.
Are you,
Brown as a paper bag,
Brown as an autumn leaf,
Brown as an old boot, or
Brown as the forest floor?
Might you be,
Brown as chocolate milk?
5.
Are you,
Gray as a foggy October morning
Gray as a stone fence
Gray as a metal ruler, or
Gray as a cemetery headstone?
Might you be,
Gray as fresh concrete?
6.
Are you,
Green as a Christmas wreath
Green as a field of clover
Green as envy, or
Green as a dollar bill?
Might you be
Green as a newly mowed meadow?
7.
Are you,
orange as a flickering flame,
orange as a freshly cut mango,
orange as a prison uniform,
orange as an open flame?
Might you be,
Orange as a life vest?
8.
Are you,
pink as a kitten's nose,
Pink as a flock of Flamingos,
pink as a piggy bank, or
pink as a newborn rat?
Might you be,
pink as cherry blossoms?
9.
Are you,
purple as a berry smoothie,
purple as a fresh bruise,
purple as a field of lilacs,
purple as a pile of amethyst?
Might you be,
purple as a church in Lent?
10.
Are you
red as a pepper,
red as a strawberry,
red as a poppy, or
red as a stop sign?
Might you be,
Red as a Ruby gemstone?
11.
Are you,
white as a swan,
white as a marble statue,
white as a flock of sheep, or
white as a blizzard?
Might you be,
White as a field Lily?
12.
Are you,
yellow as a dandelion,
yellow as an old tooth,
yellow as a pineapple, or
yellow as a honeycomb?
Might you be,
Yellow as a sunflower?
13.
Are you Gold
As a wedding band,
Or Silver
As a spider's web?
14.
Is being any spectrum color
An issue for you today,
Or are you free to be
Whichever color you choose,
Or Whatever color God chooses?
Are you stuck or attached
To a certain color in life
Or can you experience
The entire range of
Color spectrum?
How would life look,
If the world could see
Your true colors today?

Scripture Notes:-
Revelation 6:1-17
Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals,
and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a
voice like thunder, “Come!” And I looked, and behold,
a *white* horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown
was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living
creature say, “Come!” And out came another horse, bright *red*.
Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that
people should slay one another, and he was given a great
sword. When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living
creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a *black*
horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.....
2 Chronicles 2:7
So now send me a man skilled to work in gold, silver,
bronze, and iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue
fabrics, trained also in engraving, to be with the
skilled workers who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem,
whom David my father provided.
Supplementary Notes:-
As an artist and professinal color therapist I am
enthusiastic about all aspects of color, tone, range,
and shades. I am fascinated by how color is expressed
in nature, and the beauty to be experienced by humans
from harmonious color design.
I am particularly touched by how color is expressed
through cultures, and through religious ceremonies
and practice. And on a personal note, as a woman,
I am enthusiastic about clothing attire and makeup.
Especially the influence that various colors affect
my mood, and the mood of others.
Prison Inmate Experiment
A while back I read a report where color therapists had
conducted an experiment at a prison with very violent
inmates where fights were continuously breaking out
between them. It was recommended that the cell walls
of the most violent inmates be painted pink. On doing so,
the violence was reduced in the prison by 50%, over a set
period. It seems that colors do matter to us a great
deal on many different levels.
Conclusion:-
Some people associate the color of the Holy Spirit with
white light, whilst others associate the deep peace of
the universe with a serene, soft velvety, black.
Are there colors you associate with being positive or
negative, good or bad, or is a color just unique to
itself offering it's own particular attributes?
How about you having some fun today, noticing and
experimenting with different colors and how they
influence you.
My Prayer:
Dear Creator God,
I thank you so much for creating a universe
Full of, and rich in so many shades and
tonesof color. The splendor of your colorful
world is a pleasure for all created beings
to embrace and enjoy.
I thank you Lord, that you are not a boring,
monotonous, mechanized and robotic God,
as is Satan, the enemy of mankind's spirit.
The wisdom of your Creation and beauty
is amazing, impressive and something to
behold with awe.
I pray this request and beseech you and
your angels, with the energy ray of BLUE,
as I understand that BLUE is the color
of PEACE. May Peace reign on the Earth.
Help us to understand, appreciate and
respect your magnificense and beauty
in all the colors around us, for the
love and benefit of your Kingdom
through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Love & Light
