The Color Purple

I have been thinking about the color purple
In particular this quote from
The inimitable and amazing
Alice Walker:

“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.”

Purple is a secondary color
Meaning it is made by blending
Two primary colors in equal portions
50% RED
Plus
50% BLUE
Equals
100% PURPLE

In the United States
The Country is 50/50
And now
The Senate is 50/50
So we are no longer
Republican Red
And/or
Democrat Blue
Now,
WE LITERALLY ARE PURPLE

And, like all secondary colors
Our existence is dependent upon
The balanced blending
Of the two primary colors

From this point of view
We The People
Are actually meaningless without the polarity
There is a dynamic equilibrium
That is the essence of secondary colors
Understanding this
Is the way forward

“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.”

So let’s begin 2021
Noticing Purple….
The purple of bruises
The purple of bravery (as in the Purple Heart)
The purple of nobility
The purple of calming energy
The purple of the crown chakra
That allows us to access higher consciousness

We are in the crucible
Of learning how to relate
In a new way
To our selves
And to each other
Let’s embrace purple
Let’s notice what we have in common
Rather than what divides us

The magic of Purple
And all secondary colors
Is that when you blend them
WITH the primary colors
You get tertiary colors
Which opens an unlimited spectrum of colorful possibilities

Here’s to Purple
And the collective power of
POSITIVE
Society Building in 2021!

“Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof.”

“Propaganda is amazing. People can be led to believe anything.”

“When the ax came into the forest the trees said the handle is one of us.”

“There are ways that the spirit can be mended just as there are ways that the spirit can be broken.”

“As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can. As long as the Earth can flower and produce nurturing fruit, I can, because I’m the Earth. I won’t give up until the Earth gives up.”
