It’s hot outside! How nice to dive into the koi pond, deep into that cool blue pool.
A blue pencil taken up in hand, examined, applied to the page — its blue alone is something to cool you off. Gazing upon the blue colors, even far from water, even without swimming, the blue that can as easily be a sky as a pond — that blue will take you wherever you need to go. It is worth the journey. The journey into blue.
Orange fish make themselves the opposite of this blue and dash it up with their contrariness. Some thoughts come like splashing — they just arrive boldly. There they are. Like fish who came from unknown depths — for just this moment now — to come into a present into which they belong.
When life is right and things are good. And when there’s a pond of blue on a hot day …

Nothing like a pond of blue on a hot day – we had a hot humid day the other week and it’s the middle of winter – the birds got all confused (as did I) 😉
I like blue (I must confess) even on a cold day!
