Communities around the globe are in fact at an historical demographic crossroads where many have to decide what roles such factors as color, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political preferences, age, and socioeconomic background shall play in their future. Are they willing to pay the unnecessarily exorbitant costs of hatred, xenophobia, bigotry, and ignorance? Or will they decide it is better to paint a picture of a new possibility using concepts, strategies, and colors more suitable for a more humane and more sustainable world? – from Notes on the Colors of These Changing Times
Tao of the Rainbow No. 12
There is no envy,
jealousy,
or
hatred between
the different colors
of the rainbow.
And no fear either.
Because each one exists
to make the others’ love
more beautiful.
