Life is like a colouring book.
As the pages turn, what’s ever more apparent is that, what is there, is what is there. Everything that’s in the book is in the book, even before any of us opens the front cover. The stories are drawn upon every page, each with its own definitive outline, waiting to be filled in.
You can use the brightest colours, or you can use the darkest. You can use every colour in the box, or just a few. Heck, you can even borrow someone else’s colours or use absolutely none at all. And, you know, although those empty outlines are there to be completed, no where does it say that you have to. You can just look at the emptiness, staring into its depth, or you can scribble as much spaghettis on the page as you want. It’s your book.
On more than a few occasions, you’ve probably made a real mess of some of those pages. Thankfully, none of them are permanent. What’s done is done; it can’t be erased. But, it only stays there for as long as you choose. Sometimes, you just have to tear the page out and get started on the next one.
And, I’m sure, maybe without even noticing, you’ve created many beautiful pages. Or, maybe it was your intention all along? Those are the times where that page needs to go up on the refrigerator. Not only to share what you’ve created and to remind you of what you’re capable of, but to show you what each and every person is capable of; the beauty that each and every person has within them.
No one is going to colour their book the same as anyone else. Nor, will the pages and the outlines we start with be similar. But, the title, the theme of the book is no different for any of us.
Be Love.
