The Colours of Virtue

Pure white light holds every colour of the rainbow, and Elizabeth Medler takes that image as her starting point: the true Self, she suggests, is clothed in white yet contains all the qualities we need for living well. Each short piece sketches one such virtue and is paired with a meditation that opens out its meaning and brings it closer to daily life.

It is not meant to be read straight through. Keep it by the bed or the reading chair, open it where the page falls, and sit with whatever you find. A gentle, contemplative companion for anyone who likes a quiet moment of reflection to begin or end the day.
