My color blue:
of my color blue, personal, and belonging to just my vision alone - this is how the world is known; that each of us brings a unique note of perspective from our senses, matched in agreement with others but no idea if blue is the same between us.
indeed, it's a personal world.
it's all first light, a spectrum of potentiality waiting for our perception. We bring color to the world, measuring wavelength of reflected light and instantly perceiving shades of what it offers. We translate the world from its potential, a response of emotional accord we all agree on. Yet still every hue belongs to each of us alone.
our experience of color remains a mystery.
and more subtle still, it's all about experience -of how this translation of light helps us navigate through life, bringing meaning, beauty and awe to our surroundings. My color blue is an infinite invitation of appearance; allowing rays of yellow sun to reach across its expanse, a drift of white in a clouds passage, the flight of birds through every shade that nature offers. My own imagination soars and reaches to its very depth. I am awash in blue and sky and wonder.
it's my color blue.
life allows us meaning, providing only the emptiness of its own motion, events that are impersonal in their consequence. We see it all in first light, primordial, and translate it to a personal world. We bring color, information, shading our response. Everything comes to have meaning.
it's now a personal world.
