Color My World Blue and Green and oh yes, Pink too

Back to school this week. It had it ups and downs. School is fine. Just wish the issues with my knee would resolve themselves. Too much to relate or waste space here just hope it is resolved soon. My class is great even with the pink glow in my room meaning 14 girls to 5 boys. It's the same in the other first grade too. I was told recently that due to the use of birth control there will be fewer boys. Strange that.

Saw the movie Hero. Amazing and incredible. The use of color to tell the story was awesome. You don't just see the colors- you hear them--you feel them. The colors seem to fly off the screen and into your body. I have never seen anything like it on screen. It felt like a feast of color. Red is the color I always associate with China. And they certainly used it well in the story but the use of blue and green was stunning too. And for me blue and green are a part of me so I was stunned by the beauty I saw. The spirituality in this movie is something we Americans hunger for I feel. Perhaps it could be why the movie is rated number one as of today. The colors and the story outweigh the martial arts aspect of the movie although that was beautifully choreographed too.

Not sure if there is a color to relate to the sadness one feels over the story from Russia this week of the senseless murders of 320 people in a school and many of them innocent children. Then there is the devestation caused by a hurricane that literally pounded through the whole state of Florida. And now they say there may be another hurricane even more powerful headed to Florida within days of Frances.

As the anniversary of Septemebr 11th approaches and the sad memory of that painful blue morning sky comes back to mind it is nice to be able to also dwell on the green of a faraway land where all is peace and on the blue beauty found in the eyes of my hero. I pray that all who suffer may find a place where the blues and greens of their lives will heal them and give them rest and eternal solace. And yes we all do still need a hero. . .
