colors are beautiful

Did I ever mention how poetic my stbrigidsnovicesister is?

White:

pure virgin winter landscape, icy fingers of wind lifting the wisps of hair around the face. the pristine whiteness provides a cruel contrast against the naked leafless tree. Aloof it holds itself, until...three small children with bright red scarves...

Yellow:

golden light embodied in the tiny essence of an autumn leaf. the skies lowering overhead do not darken it's brilliance, but intensify it until one believes there must be an inner source

Orange:

the produce dept. at the grocery store, oranges piled high-- I weigh them tentitively in my hand-- imagining juice trickling down my chin and fingers

Red:

the Tupperware tumbler that Heather and Forrest fought over

Maroon:

sheets hanging to dry in my kitchen, freshening the air with their clean scent, dividing the room and adding mystery to my life

Pink:

the softness of precious baby-skin.. so touchable.. like a whispered lullaby embodied.. held next to my cheek, scented and warm

Purple:

Mom

Plum:

that color we always looked for in the coloring crayons-- not "violet-blue" or "blue-violet" or "violet" but PLUM

Blue:

my Goodman's favorite color

Teal:

"the color of gangrene"

Green:

living, undulating fields of young barley, catching the light and sifting it through their fragile stems like stained glass-- new life, resurrection

Brown:

earthy woodsy aroma, swirling around our campsite, snuggled in jackets around a roaring campfire, anticipation of s'mores

Tan:

Nevada

Grey:

magnificent arches, flying buttresses, ancient steps, stone cathedrals standing the test of time, framing glorious kaleidoscope windows-- central bastion of the town

Black:

"where there's smoke, there's toast"
