I’m putting together a team of people to work on content for our local Baha’i website. I was a little nervous about the first meeting—getting all the people together, getting us all on the same page, etc. So I started thinking about what qualities I needed for this work. The first thing that came to mind was purple, the spiritual color.

As I focused on the purpose and vision of this project, I realized that it’s all about connection—connecting people with each other, connecting to the Source of all things. We need to inspire ourselves and become channels for that love to flow through us. What are the stories that inspire us? Stories of love and service and transformation. Personal stories of triumph and insight, of overcoming obstacles and rising above limitations. That’s what we need to focus on.

Purple. The color of inspiration and insight. And it’s through story and song that we tap into these treasures.

Purple. It comes as no surprise to me that the first flowers I saw this spring were purple. Cheery little primroses in my neighbors yard. Yet another inspiration that keeps me going as winter settles back into cold, rainy weather once again.
