my winter white world needs some color...

I have a friend who reads people's auras
~
he sees all sorts of colors like green and red and purple
~
he says anyone can do it
~
all it takes is forgetting everything you think you know and just looking
~
I've tried it and even though I haven't seen any colors yet
everyone I meet looks so beautiful when I stop knowing everything
that it's pretty hard to go back to the old way

"everyone I meet looks so beautiful when I stop knowing everything" ...
aren't story people just fun?! with lots of insight ... that little girl loves color for sure.

Lisa E said...

She wears her colors so well :O)

Color is so vibrant against the backdrop of a winter filled with white.

I love color. I fill my home with it.

Great photo!

Stop looking with what you know... I just realized how hard that actually is..

Shadow said...

as easy as that? right, i'd better start looking then...

ELK said...

you found it for sure in this sweet image! I am colorful today too!!

I've seen auras before. The last one was what I characterized as 'glow-y'...a unique tone of yellow gold with orange teeny tiny pixels creating the color gradient where the orange was involved. Almost Monet - ish.

It was beautiful and it was present for 4 days. That's a true story.

I love story people too - so good for the heart and the imagination.

I do have a friend who reads auras. He is a fantastic boss and uses people's auras in choosing his teams - ie don't put too much yellow in a room full of purples, or whatever. He doesn't tell many people about this though, as you can imagine.
He told me my aura was a mix of greens and blues - I always wondered if that is why those are my favorite colors - those blues and greens and turquoises...He told me this years ago...I wonder if your aura changes as you get older or as you change ???
May your day be filled with color today, lovely Beth.
Big love to you !

Char said...

just for the record, i adore your attitude. come here and rub shoulders with me so maybe some of it will rub off.

Elena said...

Beth, I bet your aura is off the charts.

Kamana said...

i had never heard/read this before; but within the space of one hour, i have come across it three times in three different blogs. must be the day of colour auras!

Connie said...

forgetting everything you think you know and just look...wow!!!
I made a decision one day as I spied a homeless person napping on a bench to really look at the beauty of each individual. It is amazing what you see when you suspend judgement and assumptions.
I am thinking you probably have a beautiful halo as your aura!

Wonderful shot! And it's true about reading auras...anyone can do it...it's a matter of opening your heart and mind.

The little girl is one who can get away with horizontal stripes!
I'd love to know my aura, and I wonder, does it change with our moods, or changes in our personalities as we age?

joyce said...

By the way, I would be interested in having you make up a picture like that, but I would want it as a printed photo instead of a banner.

nacherluver said...

Not just the different colors, but the textures are grabbing me! I want to feel that hat! What a little cutie! Always wished I could see auras. Sometimes I think I wished too hard and that's what blocked me. I try to go with the gut since my eyes failed me.

Joie Moring said...

brain andreas is great...love his writing/illustrations/books

i'll have to give forgetting everything i think i know a whirl.
shouldn't be too hard or take too long. ;/

Wendy said...

This little girl wears her "happy" on the outside! Great shot and very thought-provoking blurb. Thanks again Beth!

Kris said...

beautiful post and thought!

cinner said...

Beautiful Beth, I love color in my world. as for auras I try, I think it has to do with goodness and kindness to make a great aura, but I don't know much about it. I looked at the blog header you designed...beautiful, wonderful job.

Marilyn said...

Color is a delight to the eyes. Opening to the possibilities is even better.

misty said...

I've had the pleasure of seeing auras in nature... but not around people.

best wishes to you and your family for this magical time of year.

Merry Christmas
x Ribbon :)

Vicky said...

I get story people in email everyday... guaranteed smiled on my face! Hmmmm, or color in a very white world :)

Barefoot from Heaven said...

Hi Beth, Oh I wished I could do that too. Even if I'm able to connect with those who left already to the spiritworld I never was able to see aura's.
But you see colors trough your lenses and given us a beautiful tribute to it because I can tell you put your heart into them. Every single time.

Like this one, she's too cute.
Happy friday.

Michelle Johnson said...

it's a beautiful mixture of colors the little girl is wearing. she looks comfortable too. hope all is well.

Relyn said...

Oh, I love the Story People website.

kcgirlgeek said...

What a great lesson...to stop "knowing" and just start really seeing with clarity and truth. I love this.

Jeanie said...

I so love Story People and Brian Andreas. This little one looks like she could step into the drawings!

Jaime said...

What a beautiful thought. I will carry this with me today...thank you, you precious being you. I see the beauty in YOU.

Patti said...

Auras are lovely thoughts- although apparently mine has been clogged recently according to a phychic...only me...
