Listening to a song again after a long time is a wonderful opportunity to experience it in new ways. This is how I felt recently with this song by Cyndi Lauper: True Colors
“… I see your true colors shining through. I see your true colors and that’s why I love you. So don’t be afraid to let them show. Your true colors are beautiful like a rainbow …”
Surely, this is about being, about who we are, not about what we know or have. I feel that getting to know our true colors is a process that unfolds step by step over time. What could life be like if we showed our true colors, our true being? In the beginning it definitely takes courage. In the long run, it will free us and lead us to a fulfilled life.
“… If this world makes you crazy and you’ve taken all you can bear you call me up because you know I’ll be there …”
In mediumship, this is often part of the message we pass on to the recipient: I am here, I am there for you, ready to help whenever you need me. Some weeks ago, I passed on a message from a lady in spirit who had passed away just two days before. She said: People often say, “she leaves behind a husband, children…”. I leave no one behind; I am there for my loved ones, only in a different dimension of existence.
Caterpillar and cocoon
In the video there are short texts during the instrumental parts, including:
Consider yourself a caterpillar. The ones who love you, are the nourishing leaves. Those who hurt you, the cocoon. Remember: You won’t become butterfly w/o nourishment. You won’t develop wings w/o the cocoon. There are no heroes nor villains in life; just people with different roles to teach you one great lesson ~ LIFE ~
Considering past and current world events and the amount of suffering they cause(d), I am not sure I agree with “neither heroes nor villains”. It is difficult to accept so much seemingly unnecessary suffering.
