I can sing a rainbow!
As I was dashing out of the house on a particularly dark start to the day, I spotted this!!! It made me think of two things:
A song I learned when I was about four.
An annual gloom focussed event.
I'll expand. Starting with the song. It goes:
'red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too. Listen with your eyes, listen with your eyes and sing everything you see. You can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing along with me."
I learned this song many years ago and it stuck. I came into the world with a love of colour. My parents say they used to find me sitting by myself early in the morning, happily singing along and drawing. A happy place of mine I suppose.
The song continues to resonate, as there is something about 'listening with your eyes' and 'singing what you see' that so perfectly sums up being creative.
To me, creativity is a deeply connected, spiritual thing. You aren't just drawing, painting or singing, you are chanelling- acting as a vessel, expressing light and helping to shine it for others who need to feel it.
I believe that this is the innate power within music and artwork which can move us to emotion. How wonderful that we can uplift one another in this way. What a priceless gift!
On to the second part. This coming Monday will feature in the media at some point with a different message. 'Blue Monday' is the 'industry' day on which we are supposed to feel most glum- or so the dense 3 dimensional world would have us believe!.
But I love blue. It gets a bad name when it's used as a way of describing feeling down! It's true that blue is cooling and calming, directing us to pause and consider. It's also true that large amounts can benefit from balancing with warmer complimentaries like orange, but, I challenge you to look at the blue in this image and feel sad!
The sunlight cast this rainbow into my wall, as always, with pure divine timing. I am sharing it to encourage you to look for yourself, listen with your own eyes and sing what you see.
Don't let anyone else decide how your day is going to be! Happy Rainbow Friday! 🌈
