“…I only wanted to see you -Laughing in the purple rain….”
Yep – I love all things purple…it’s my favorite color. It has the ability to come at you in different shades and hues…perhaps light and subtle, like an almost translucent lilac, or bold and dark and forceful like rain clouds pregnant with a storm that will demolish all in it’s path and leave the earth washed clean, like an ablution from God Herself. And as I sit here and look around me I realize that I am surrounded by Purples and Lilacs…my t-shirt, ipad cover, water bottle, pajama pants, make-up bag, running clothes…the mundane and the simultaneously deeply comforting.
Purple blankets my soul in warmth…and so when I saw him again wearing that purple sweater it felt good and warm, and comforting…and made me feel good within the situation…loving it for what it is… I am comfortable with what it is and how it’s navigated and when it envelopes me for that minute, in that space and time, then for that moment, all is at peace inside and I am carried on that purple cloud and washed afresh in that purple rain…and it’s good to know that there’s something…
