What is the color of the wind?

The wind is the messenger of the earth. When it blows it becomes the voice of the universe, the sky the earth and the ocean. It does not have a color, but its purpose has great meaning.

Far more fluorescent than the brightest colors with which we are familiar, they are tailored to each and every one of our individual destinies and travel to each corner of the earth spreading the very essence of life.

The colors of the wind are ever changing, like its direction. It is unpredictable and insignificant to many of us; but to others it is vital. They are constructed in the very core of the earth and rise up to very highest highs reflecting all the colors known and unknown to us off the ocean, the sky and the sun.

Next time you listen carefully into a shell from the ocean, hear the reflection of the wind and call its color ocean blue. Next time you don’t put on sunscreen on an overcast day, feel the reflection of the wind from the sun and call its color red.

Next time the wind is blowing so hectically that the vehicle you are in feels like it has actually lifted off the road, see the reflection of the wind and call it grey. Next time the wind blows off the branches of a tree, see this and call its color green. Or next time the wind blows off your favorite hat on a day which you are experiencing great sadness, name the color of the wind navy blue.

You see, the wind has not been assigned a color like the sky or the ocean or even the earth. We can name its direction, its intensity and its pressure but realizing the purpose of each of these things is defining something greater than the colors it reflects when it blows. It is impossible for us to give our emotions colors, to give our purpose a color, or even to color in a picture of our souls.

These things exist within us just as the wind exists and moves within our universe. Each time the wind blows its color is reflected differently on us, there is a change that takes place within us. Perhaps the very realization of such change is far more important than the colors we see in it’s the reflection of the sun, the sky, the ocean and the earth.
