Prism

Loving prisms, I have several hanging in my window.  Many faceted bits of glass that catch the sun and fill the room with bits of rainbow.

Maybe today I could be a bit like one of those pieces of glass, catching the light and transforming it into color.  Artists are definitely prisms of some sort...catching a glimpse of something that is at the source of everything, they create an image that reflects truth in some way.  Musicians, writers, dancers, anyone who is an artist is a prism.

It's important to remember that in order to be prism, that bit of crystal has to have facets to it.  And so do we humans need to be multi-faceted, different faces, different roles, different understandings and philosophies of life.  If we are going to reflect light, we need variety and many experiences in our lives.

Hope you are catching some of that light and letting it shine through.
