The colour of the wind~A kaleidescope of colour


 


The colour of the wind, does the wind really have a colour or is it transparent? Do we ever take the time to look, discover and figure it out or is the colour of the wind not an issue of interest? I have never taken the time to sit and watch the wind but the next time I feel a breeze or hear the wind whistle, I'll sit, observe, feel and imagine.

Even though I'm yet to physically watch the wind and its movements, I dont think the wind is one colour. The colour of the wind changes on a daily basis as the wind impacts on how people feel. A light breeze is a light sky blue colour with a dash of cherise pink as a breeze makes people happy. The stronger the wind, the darker the colour, a south easter is a mixture of royal blue, black and a deep red as it generally impacts on an individuals mood negatively as its a forceful wind.

Depending on the mood and strength of the wind this impacts on the colour of the wind which changes on a regular basis.

One can use one's imagination when deciding upon the colour of the wind. The colour of the wind allows one to dream, go to a place you dont always go to, the world of imagination. Depending on your mood, this may impact on your interepratation of the wind and its colour. Unlocking your imagination can do wonders for your soul. The older we get, the less in touch we are with our imagination, is this true, i think it is.

Remember the days of having an imaginery friend, your friend would miraculously appear and secretly be there to talk too. Any fear, thought, worry, happy or lonely moment would be expressed to your friend, who you thought was real. An imaginery friend brought comfort, warmth and a feeling of trust. As you get older, this friend no longer is part of your daily experiences but becomes a fond memory which gets remembered occasionally when you look back at your days as a young one.

The truth is, should we really put a hold on our imagination? No, we should embrace it as its a way to appreciate the mind and its workings. Using your imagination, shifts your perceptions about things in life, your perspective may be positively influenced by making regular use of your imagination. Your imagination gives you time to dream, believe and most importantly it adds a bit of magic into your life.

I agree with Carl Sagan who says
"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere."

Its about time, no matter our age, to dream and allow our imaginations to take us into a world which rarely gets visited.

  1. Totally agree, like I mentioned in my blog...we need to break away from the box called 'adulthood' and open up our imagination again...the world would be a better place if we did.

    Then again, I think it would be a little scary to start talking to your imaginary friend - may land you in a mental institution...lol. Aaah, the things we get away with when young and care free.
