 Once
upon a time, there was a little child who complained, "I don't have
any one to play with". Time and time again, the child's mother would
reply, "If you want friends, you must become friendly!".
Our human figure is dressed in a hooded "black" cloak. "Black" signifies
unconscious, unknown parts of self. Sometimes worn so as not to be
noticed and stay on the sideline, letting others take the limelight
(note: men's formal attire). "Black" is a complicated color. "Black" can
be worn to extend the darkness of a group's or a person's persona.
Evil is usually represented by the wearing of "black" denoting the
darkness of mind and spirit. Interesting how society equates a woman's
slinky "black" dress as sexy. "Black" religious garments are reminders
of the dark side of humanity; the small "white" collar of clergy
is a reminder of the "Light of Christ". The "black" hood symbolizes
hiding, inability or unwillingness to be seen as one really is. Protection,
maybe dishonesty to one's self by masking our feelings and pulling into
ourself. Difficulty dealing with hurt. Perhaps choosing not to see
beauty.
The companion of loneliness is represented by a transparent stylized
ghost like figure. It can be a part of self not understood or vaguely
dealt with. Loneliness is real, but the answer is what we do with
it. Perhaps we have lost a loved one through death, long distance
or other kinds of losses of myriad descriptions. A person can feel
very alone dealing with a Herculean situation. But we can find solace
by giving to others, allowing others to give to us and finding community.
People do need people. We do require periods of solitude for retreats
and DREAMS AND MEDITATIONS that permit us to re-evaluate our life
and promote the healing of our wounds. Perhaps deepening our awareness
through meditations and daring to become more conscious in our world.
Maybe by becoming mesmerized deep in your dreams marveling at the
possibilities of expanding your horizons a new flicker of life will
begin.
Clutching arm in arm signifies holding on to loneliness, unwilling
to release the hurt that is familiar and step away into a new sense
of self and others. After all, there can be security in the familiar
even though painful. We need to embrace the child-like resiliency
that is our human hallmark gained through forgiveness and blessings.
The background of "yellow green" fields are calling out to our hooded "black" clothed
figure of loneness to only look about and take in the healing, expansiveness,
growth and creativity of one of nature's most abundant colors, "greens". "Greens" like "blues" have
a soothing and relaxing effect on the body as well as on the mind.
It is believed that people with nervous disorders, exhaustion, serious
illnesses, depression or anxieties can benefit from "green" surroundings.
Our cities could use more "green" respite areas thereby becoming
friendlier to humanity. Notice, the soothing "yellow greens" can
be seen right through the transparent companion of loneliness enticing
us to wipe our eyes, take a hard look and begin our DREAMS AND MEDITATIONS
one more time.
"Brown" is a grounding color; so the brown fence signifies getting back in touch
with yourself. The fence represents an obstacle or obstacles that must be overcome
before one can continue in positive growth mentally and spiritually. This is
a small open fence which will take less creative effort to move around, over
or through it. Whatever the fence size there is always a way around, above, under
or through it. Someone may even hold your hand through the process. The payoff
is tremendous.
"Violet" and "Purple" Mountains represents a peaceful environment. "Violet" and "purple" signify
wisdom, higher consciousness, knowledge and divine protection. As we become more
conscious of our human situations, bathe and reverie in our DREAMS AND MEDITATIONS
we can emerge with a new zest for living and loving not just for ourselves but
for the love of others and for the whole world. Please join me and multitudes
of others by loving, dreaming and meditating for a more conscious world. Reach
out and hold someone else's hand!
