CREATIVE SPARK #15: Ancient Widsom

Imagine something as beautiful as this window from Saint Chapelle in Paris, surviving for hundreds of years unscathed. Imagine the thousands of people who sat at its base, looking up at the rainbows of light shimmering through its glass.

Since every object has a story, what does this magnificent stained glass tell you? What is its story?

Challenge yourself today, and write from the perspective of someone who went to Saint Chapelle to pray, perhaps during one of the many battles surrounding the great City of Lights.

What would you have been thinking?
What worries would have been on your mind?
Would you have prayed for anything in particular?
Would you have noticed the beauty in the glass?

Take a moment to notice the view from your window today, and appreciate the beauty in even an ordinary scene.
