Member-only story
I love to color. I always have. Last week gave me many opportunities to sit and color with every single one of The Magical Creatures. As with All. The. Things Magical — any activity leads to deeper wisdom.
I was quizzed by the Wise Soul currently residing in the body of a five-year-old — The Youngest Magical Creature. She needed to know my favorite color. And next favorite…until we had placed each color in its appropriate order. I was surprised to realize I had ordered them in a rainbow — starting with purple — of course. Lucky for me — this is The Magical Creature’s favorite as well. She approved of my selections. And tactfully mentioned — I had forgotten black and white.
Perhaps it’s because nothing in my world is seen as black and white? She reminded me to use All. The. Colors. in My Life. And sometimes there is even a place for black. Or white. Or both.
The Oldest Magical Creature has the makings of an artist and prefers to draw her own sketches and then color them. Nothing in a coloring book is as alive and real to her as what her own hand and imagination can produce. Landscapes, moonscapes, stars, even some abstract designs just for fun. They all exist side by side in her marvelous inner world.
