Kaleidoscope of life

3/1/2018

 
When I graduated from my Bachelor of Arts & Humanities program in Decision Sciences & Design, the program gave me a kaleidoscope along with my diploma. I remember initially thinking, “What am I going to do with this?” But it turned out to be a really insightful and important reminder.

Life is  like a kaleidoscope. It is the lens with which we view the world. Each tube has similar components
— shapes, colors and mirrors ​— like life has its constants: family members, coworkers, circle of friends; work, school, extra-curriculars; minutes, months, years.  Each rotation makes a new configuration different from the last and the next. With each shift, there are infinite possibilities.

The word kaleidoscope derives from the Ancient Greek: kalos (beautiful) eidos (that which is seen) skopeo (to examine) to mean "observation of beautiful forms." It reminds me to keep moving to find that fresh perspective, to find the beauty in the chaos and to appreciate each new composition.
