#Advent20: Colours

Rainbow coloured swirl background (from Stockfish)

Brian today encourages us to look at the colours around us, in the sky, on the ground – an infinite range of colours, with subtle shifts and tonal changes. It’s so easy to look at our spiritual journey in black and white terms (I’m thinking what did I do/not do, have I developed or not?), but the reality of our lives is more subtle and nuanced, as these colours demonstrate, as the light reflects from white to black …

As we wait in the ‘now and not yet’, we are in a rich place – artistically, spiritually, practically, and with space to explore, without necessarily knowing what the full picture is. We are challenged to sit and watch a scene, and see how the colours subtly change, and recognise that within ourselves.

P.S. I properly looked at the full moon last night = fabulous!
