Welcome.

Both the darkness and the snow cover have left to reveal the browns,

Blues,

Early greens and pinks of morning lawns.

Not yet brilliant,

The colors call invitingly and promise new pleasures.

The colors are unearthed in the stillness of the morning.

In this quiet time,

This time of meditation,

Let them become more and more rich and vibrant,

Both inside and outside.

Go deep down into your body,

Layer by layer,

And bring awareness and energy to every part of your physical being.

Notice the responses you receive as your body wakes up and tingles with life.

Your legs and thighs,

Your waist and chest,

Your shoulders and arms,

Your neck and head.

Uncover your emotions so that they too emerge into awareness.

Be colorful in your expressions of feelings.

Use a full palette to express what you feel.

From bright blue,

Raucous red,

Growthful green,

Passionate purple,

Bitter black,

Yolky yellow,

Each expresses some feeling you have.

Consider what color is spirit.

Silver?

Purple?

White?

Gold?

Paint your spirit bright and shimmering.

Use only your own mix of colors and see them reflected in the day before you.

May you be colorful today.

Your gift today is color.
