Lessons Learned From Crayons

Today, Ive been in a super "deep" mood, everything means something to me. I was coloring with my crayons, and i started thinking... Crayons can  be compared to so much in life. Some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some are bright, and some have weird names. We need to stop counting our crayons, and just draw pictures, using our whole box of crayons. Really, your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world.  Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak.  Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. If only the armies could take this into mind...  Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon.  A happiness weapon.  A beauty bomb.  And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one.  It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air.  Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas.  And wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight.  Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in.  With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest.  And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination... the world would be a better place if people could just realize... life and crayons have a lot in common.

  1. Wow...I didn't think you could get much from a box of crayons except for utensils for drawing and coloring....it's great to have a friend that sees much more than the average person when looking at a box of crayons. The world is a happier place with you, Anna Marie :) Looveee yooouuu <3
