Black is everything, white is nothing - black is nothing, white is everything.
Contemplate deeply, glance at the surface.
Truth lies in this contradiction.
Just look at a keyboard, a starlit sky, a soccer ball, a bride and groom, a charred marshmallow,
a newspaper, a panda bear. Ponder, wonder; see over and under.
The earth is a grey area, hiding the truth in a rainbow.
Colors absorb us - blue, green, yellow, orange, red - multiple shades in between.
A variety of fruits to satisfy our senses
Delicious
Paint mixed to bring life to a picture
Artistic
Rolling hills with scattered clusters of wildflowers
Magnificent
Look beyond these golden treasures to
A family shivering outside their burning home,
An old man with an empty stare on a park bench day and night,
A young woman who is thrown around relentlessly,
A child whose silent cries are ignored, left alone to starve,
And God, who was nailed fast to a tree,
That all may choose the path of the free.
by Julie St. John Fall, 1987
