Black

The first thing we don’t see and the last thing we don’t see

Black holds all the colours of our lives lived and lives yet to live

It holds the Red of our passions for which we wager all we have to give

The Blue of all of our words and thoughts said and unsaid

The Yellow of our days where the sunshine made us smile in its warmth and led us to share that warmth with everyone around us

The Green of abundance and life through the foliage that provides us with our life breath

The Purple of opulence and a deep sense of belonging to something more than ourselves

Every shade and opacity of colours in the spectrum create a code of our lives

We begin life with the potential of all the colours ahead of us

We open our eyes and begin to experience those colours creating a colour journal of our experiences

We end life with the accumulation of all the colours we have experienced

We close our eyes and feel grateful for all the colours the Universe granted us
