Imagine

Our imaginations open worlds of wonder we all need to explore even as adults.   Creativity flows from our imaginations. In the picture to the left do we see the lobster?  Do we see the cat’s paw?  Imagine!

I sometimes wonder how the stars spark our imaginations about God.  We look into the starlight and see patterns suggesting God is an artist using a pallet of colors and paints.  We don’t see those colors of course because white light is a spectrum of color only seen through prisms. 

I’m still fascinated by the rainbow made visible through rays filtered by moisture after a storm.  The end of the rainbow is where we look for that imaginary pot of gold.  Or somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue and the dreams that we dare to dream really do come true.

We’re all like rainbows – mixtures of colors perhaps with some being brighter than others, or different shades.    Hot-tempered red and orange; warm and sunny yellow; subdued blue and green; or passionate violet.  We’re all these colors at one time or another arching from one mood to another.   Each of us is a world of wonder.     That’s how God made us.

The light of Christ is white, but colors are hidden within.  And that’s the same with each of us.   All we need is love to serve as a prism revealing our colors for the world to see.   God is that prism.
