Moving on into color again...

Lost in the wonders of that wandering mind, I swoop into: What does the mind require...? Does it just lay in wait like the fishing lure mentioned previously? Again the wind catches this lure and seeks the thoughts which drift back to color; the fish waiting to be caught!

Off goes the "mind-stream," with the fish a flash of color! This time it will be red...a good basic!
Is red the color of heat, blood the dead and dying salmon in the Alaskan stream, coming home to spawn/die. Is this color also about life?

Yes, RED is the color of life.

Give blood it is life, leave blood for someone, as you donate part of yourself. Cover yourself in the red of life; wear a scarf of red knitted yarn. It has a flash of silver in it, the sparkle of the excitement of life!
The flash of silver once also belonged to the salmon. It is gone now but with death is life and the fish lives! Red is the leaf that floats slowly past the fish, it swirls. It changed to red at it's life end and then it begins a cycle not unlike the fish as it goes to the soil. The wearer of the scarf moves on and into the shadow of the tree that sent it's leaf to the soil On the edge of the stream more red is seen in the berries and the dark red bark. Nature is a complex arrangement of red. Learn from the red of the woods and the stream environment.
