From our LGBTQI family of SFZC – “Happily, we continue our annual tradition of having a San Francisco Zen Center contingent walking in the Pride Parade. We are going to meet at 300 Page St. and at 9 a.m. we will go together to the Muni and travel to our assigned starting place. If you prefer, you can meet us at our starting place(which almost certainly will be in the Financial District) at 10 a.m. We will send details about the 10 a.m. starting place later in the week. Please join us and celebrate as we cover the world with pride.”
Color the World with Pride
What is the color of pride?
If we were to color the world with pride how would it look?
Sound?
Taste?
Feel?
Would there be space in our hearts and minds for all colors?
Could we come from an understanding that all colors need to be seen so that one color
doesn’t stand out and dominate the others?
Could we learn that colors complement one another?
Could we let the margins between colors go soft and blend the colors, rub them like pastels
and wonder at the range, the subtle gradations that are also part of the rainbow?
When I color my world with pride, I want the 72 Crayolas, not the narrow box of eight.
