BLUE VARIATIONS: Experiencing aquamarine awareness The world contains many hues - why not treasure more shades? Open the waters ah imagination & transcend all that's grey Close yer eyes ta land-based notions ah color & feel the ocean's embrace In the blue depths ah each heart fresh worlds err waitin' Unzip cloudless skies in summer & put turquoise in yer veins Turn yerself into a sapphire & allow blue cleanse the world again Andrei: To me, blue feels melancholy. Soo: Think of it as simply a metaphor for cool, calm awareness. Andrei: Really? Blue reminds me of toilet bowl cleaners. Philyra: Isn't that's what this planet needs, a global cleansing? Jules: (ignoring Philyra's comment) I prefer to think of blue in terms of water: flexible, fluid, and flowing. Ellesha: (sighing) You folks think too much.
