I thought I'd better post a new entry since my last one was way last week (not that anyone would notice, eh?). It has been a difficult couple of days. I could use the familiar voice of a friend, but I'm beginning to see that's not going to happen. I know there are times when we just want to be alone when going through the traumas and tragedies of life...but right now --- not-such a good idea for me.
A neighbor and friend across the road just died of a massive heart attack and that fact has left me reeling. Losing a good neighbor like this brings the loss of my father into sharp focus once again.
I know the traditional funeral color is black, and that does fit the mood. But I'd also add the cold dark gray and blues and deep purples of a stormy winter sky...the kind of clouds that hang leaden and foreboding across the horizon. Much like the cold rain that's falling today. So...today I am slate gray and Prussian blue...not exactly a prism of brilliant hues, but part of the spectrum nonetheless.
Tomorrow I'm hoping for a few brighter colors mixed in. A little Cadmium yellow to cheer, perhaps?
Maybe if it stops raining, I'll pull on my boots and venture out to take a walk. That sometimes helps.
