My Colorful Day

"SHARING THE LIGHTS AND COLORS OF MY LIFE"

I have used this phrase almost, forever.

Defining people, my experiences, my ART

as

the lights and colors.

After all of these years I feel exactly the same.

If you have been rude and hateful to me,

you have taught me how to use dark colors,

and shade very well.

If you are a friend. Sharing and guiding me,

you have taught me to use ALL of the colors of the palate,

not only the ones I love

but

testing colors I might have ignored, or disliked,

making these new pigments part of my every day color-wheel.

If you have loved me,

you have taught me to highlight my world.

With the sparkles, and lights that reflect and share.

An artist must have all emotions to fulfill

an inner need of balance and sharing.

Today I have been thinking of you.

You, who have loved me even when I was all prickly.

You who have so much hate in your heart, that you cannot breathe.

You who are patient and wise.

You.

You.

I thank you with all of my heart.

You who hate me and you who love me.

Guess what?

I love you both.

You are part of me.

You have taught me how to love in the face of

hate, greed and anger.

You have taught me patience when you filled my world with love.

My heart is content and full.

Love you.

Me
