There is an interesting thing that happens as you get deeper and deeper in the water. The water itself filters out parts of the light causing colors to disappear. First, the red disappears and then orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple, and you are left with everything looking a dark rusty brown color. But as soon as you pull out a flashlight and shine it on an object the color becomes vivid and clear.
This occurrence made me think about life and how it can sometimes feel as if you are sinking deep into the water. And all of the happiness and joy are disappearing from your life just as the colors do in deep water. But the solution is just as simple in your everyday life as it is when diving in deep water, you need to choose to bring the light back. But in this case, you need to be your own light. You need to remember that all of the good people, happiness, and love are still there, you just need to choose to shine a positive light on your surroundings and see what is right there before you.
We each need to be the light for ourselves and for others who might be struggling to escape from the darkness and return to a world filled with the bright colors of happiness, appreciation, and love.
Amen, Sister, amen!!!!! You are A Light for Me with your daily postings and this one is such a timely validation, and perfect. Thank you so much!!!!! xxxxoooo
I love the diving metaphor! So true!
Lovely post. There is a song that has tuck in my head, “If I could help somebody as I travel along, then my living shall not be in vain.” Imagine if every human on our planet, decided not to live in vain. Oh how beautiful our world would be to live in.
