During this next month you are invited to practice seeing everything as a color. This is the simple practice of seeing, without judging or trying to control what you see, trusting that if a color needs to be changed, God will provide the means. If you see only blue, perhaps God will bring red, and then you can have red and blue, from which purple can be created too!
If you find your mind condemning and criticizing the colors before you, please remember that the mind is not very artistic. The mind is not a true artist at all! True art happens. True art flows from God. This does not mean that the mind is not useful and necessary. Learning any art, from painting to gardening, can take years of study, discipline, and practice. Discipline and practice make it possible to ignore distractions and become one with creation—this is true art: intelligence working in tandem with heart.
