Depression

And her blue-tinted glasses

By Helena AnnaPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Red light (between 620-750nm) is unable to penetrate through more than 30 feet of water, making blood appear blue-shifted at these depths.

Ocean of sadness

At depths below 30 feet

Even blood seems blue

About the Creator

Helena Anna

As a PhD candidate in biochemistry and cell signaling, the more I learn about science, the more beautiful the world seems. I had always enjoyed writing before becoming a scientist, and now I am trying to connect back to my creative roots.

A Homily
I'm officiating another wedding in September. My dear friend, Alex, is marrying her sweet love, Camille, and I get to give the speech that binds them together in the eyes of the law. I thought I might play with a few ideas here to help me brainstorm and develop the message. I'll skip the boring standard introduction stuff; similarly, I won't include the wrap-up with their commitments and whatnot. Just the goods.
