“Iridescence!”

Iridescence is a rainbow play of color caused by differential refraction of light waves, according to Webster’s. The definition that intrigues me is the lustrous or attractive quality or effect.
Just imagine the feeling you would have if you were ever described with a word that is so beautiful. Wow!
My children and I recently watched a film where a grandfather was encouraging his grandson to look beyond the surface. He was teaching him the value of having amazing character, and the importance of developing it in oneself. How awesome!
Do we spend enough time developing our character as a people today? Do we even care if we are described as flat, satin, glossy, or iridescent? When I contemplate that question, I must confess that it deeply moves me. How creative to be compared to the finish of paint. I really like that. It is so different!
If I was ever to be compared to a paint finish, by those who genuinely know me, which finish would I be? I definitely would not want to be described as flat. The idea of being semi anything sounds half done or incomplete. Glossy sounds kind of phony to me. Iridescent,… I love that! Someday I hope to deserve the word. Sounding off!
