Hues, Shades, Tints

“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.” – Marcus Aurelius

An important part of getting through is making plans for the other side. This weekend, I picked up paint swatches to start looking at color options for the first floor of my house. While we have no idea what April will bring, I intend on planning for new things, new projects, for the promise found in new.

It is amazing the wide variation of colors that are available. At well-timed reminder of the depth, complexity and gift of color. Hues, shades, tints. The world is filled with color even though it feels a bit muted right now. We are on the cusp of Spring blooming. Be open to the symphony of color all around, especially in these moments.

“Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
