Five Minute Friday: The Colors of My World

Five Minute Friday
Stop.
Drop.
Write.
No major editing.
No big fuss.

Topic :: Color

Ready?
Set?
GO.

My world has always been filled with color

From the golden sunsets over Hispaniola


To the white crest waves of my Eastern US home

From the amber waves of grain in my midwestern college days


To the Rainbow Nation that I married into


I love color.
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in this sight.

Seeing the world in the many hues is the advantage of growing up with the title "missionary kid"

But the colors of life are vaster, wider, deeper, even now than my little girl eyes ever knew
The deep dark black and blue waters of pain and sorrow
The radiant yellow and orange sunrises of new love awakening
The deep, warm, & mysterious greens of the inner psyche of the ones around me.

Pause.
Deep Breath.
Sigh.
I'm glad for the God of the multi-colored-dimensional world.

STOP.

My mind is in many deep waters today....all part of the color of being ME...I suppose. {smile}

Now you've got me singing with you : ...Jesus loves the little children of the world.... :-)
You've got some fantastic pics to go along with your post.  I liked how you showed the deepness of colour, to your adult eyes.

Me too... I think color speaks to us more about Him than words. Especially since He shines through the blacks and grays with vibrant rainbow beauty. Wonderful post.

I love this! Beautiful! I'd love to see all the colors that radiate in different parts of the world. My experiences pretty much cover the east coast of the US and Bermuda (where I able to see those famous pink sands). But thanks for showing me color though your eyes.
