Musing…
"People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle
and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty
is revealed only if there is a light within." ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Our light within is inborn; that divine spark shines through our
earthly body. Our creative expression is colored by our individuality. Kindling our creative fire
strengthens the manifestation of our true self. Manifesting our light brings beauty to our world.
Kate’s Turn:
Winter’s light is so
different than summer light. Without the intensity, it has more of a
candle-like glow, a soft yellow against the slate-blue skies of winter. It seems as though the contrast of
predominant darkness in the winter season makes the filtered light even more
beautiful, even though it is the same sun. I’m in the business of light – I help people kindle their
spirit so that they shine in their true self. And ironically, the challenges, the “darkness” of life’s
journey, seem to bring out the essence, the beauty of their spirit –
strengthening their inner light both guides their way, and adds their unique
beauty to the world. This business
of light has been with me throughout my life. I have always loved the stars, aurora borealis, prismatic
light through crystals and snowflakes, sun diamonds on bodies of water, the
changing light of the seasons, etc. It’s the light I try to capture in my watercolor paintings, and it is
the light of one’s spirit that I love to see shine.
Get Fired Up:
Light some candles,
sit in the sunlight, smile – kindle your light within and offer the beauty of
your true colors!
