red: the color of my daughters hair. a long cry. rages. freckles. high heels. lipstick. lips. carnivorous meals. pennywise. Santa Claus’s cheeks. children’s rainboots. the firetruck. candlelight. Ferdinand the cow. the child’s pajamas. the last popsicle he ate. the carpet at the music venue. the huntsman’s cape. my strange position as a social worker. sit at desk. observe feelings. the microwave clock. latin dances. misspelled words.

Green. Go, life, trees, fresh, vegetables, watermelon, Starbucks, healthy, grass, un-ripe bananas and tomatoes.
Positive, good, sick, envy ( this confuses me as there exists a dichotomy??)
Are we a green planet or a blue planet? Sometimes water looks green, sometimes blue, sometimes turquoise but always clear. Here’s a question to consider and it is way off track to your question. If you asked a child to colour in a lake on a piece of paper and they never saw a cartoon, a map, or a picture of a Caribbean island positioned in the water; what colour would they draw it if they only saw it coming out of a tap?
@spitfire3dc Starbucks,
It ain’t easy being green.
purple;
reflective like a mood ring
bright and cheerful as popsicles
or dark and moody as plumskins
warm rich creative fantasy life
sweater hair streaks coasters purse
@BelleMadre “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.”

@Gina Alice walker was a social worker
@Scarlett She is an amazing woman. I went to a benefit to celebrate the Teacher of the Year for Seattle. Maya Angelou was supposed to be the keynote speaker. She got sick and called her friend, Alice Walker to take her place. Not a bad substitute. :)
@Gina thank you for quoting one of the best authors of time <3
@BelleMadre She sure is.

Red: The color red has been hijacked by a political party who I feel is truly evil. I have stayed away from red for a long time because of that. I just bought a concert T-shirt that is the color red. I had other choices, but I am taking the color red back.
I was at the airport last week and I met a young red haired man from Scotland. We talked sports, and especially; we talked about baseball’s World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers 3rd baseman who is great, and a redhead. I mentioned Justin Turner to the Scot, and he was proud that Turner was representing redheads, as there are not many in professional sports on the the states.
RED: The color of blood, shed by so many for so many reasons…
For Christians, the blood of Christ the sacrificial lamb, shed for the remission of sin.
The blood of patriots, shed in defense of liberty.
Red is the color of power.
