Color The World

Color the World
A crayon box. Such a simple idea correct? Crayons are meant for one thing and one thing only, to color. No, a crayon box is even more of an amazing thing. A crayon box and the contents inside can explain the world. The crayons not only can describe the world we live in today, but can create a wonderful picture of the past as well as paint us a glimpse into the future. A future of the a world we wish we could live in. Imagine the crayon box as the Earth. The box contains all the creatures of the world, providing for them all a place to reside.
Depending on whether or not the crayon box is new, different situations may arise. With a new container, when the top is opened up for the first time, all the crayons are grouped together by color. The yellows are hanging out in the corner, brushing up against the reds and blacks, while the white hangs out by itself in a separate compartment. The coloring book canvas waiting to embrace the color features a sign of peace and tranquility. The pink crayon is mysteriously missing. To work through the defect, the white and red crayons must blend cultures and work together to make the missing color.
To create and finish the picture, countless numbers of crayons move across the environment by the powers that be, adding separate parts to the puzzle. For the most part, the colors work well together. Occasionally colors battle one another and destruction brews. A gold, brown, red, green, blue concoction may end up ruining the picture started, but luckily the mishap can be easily covered up.
When all is said and done, all the colors are thrown back into the box as fast as the eye can see. The proper time necessary to deport each crayon back to its original position is not taken. When forces strike again and the time is necessary for the box to be opened once again, the colors are intermixed. Robin's egg blue is next to orchid, next to tan, with melon next to that and so on down the line. Occasionally one might find two rarely used colors together, such as the grey, but not much else.
The different colors co-exist with one another. The only sign of conflict may be a speckle of "denim" found on "macaroni and cheese". When "mac and cheese" is used the next time, the combination of the two usually is a welcome variation, adding a personal touch to the creation. The crayons jumbled together feed off one another, complimenting the one to the right of them.
Sometimes when all the colors of the box spill out onto the table and come together to make a masterpiece, the lot tries to be grouped by color once again, just as the beginning of life for the crayons. The process is not as easy as one would think, nor should it be. Who is to say the oranges and greens should butt up against one another? The separation and time and effort is futile, as once another drawing calls, the colors will once again come together and making something new.
A crayon box can do vast amounts of good. Yes of course the crayons inside can work together to fill in the blanks of life, but a crayon box can describe humanity and the way our world, and the people in it, work together. Only by accepting the separate and different colors can great things be achieved.
Go out and color the world.
