The sky is red today....
We used inspiration from the painting below by Elke Trittle

The sky is red today.  The clouds are red, too. And the earth, and the sun, and my feet, and especially my eyes, which are bloodshot red from crying.  When you start to cry, why do people say, “oh, don’t cry!”?  Why shouldn’t I cry if I feel like it?  Crying isn’t a bad thing.  Crying can actually feel good.  It cleanses the mind.  Cathartic, washing away whatever just happened with a good salt wash, you know, like a jump in the ocean.  But…I am left with red eyes, which see the sky red today.  Reminding me of why I was crying far past the tears.  The sadness lingers on the red clouds, the red sun singes the pain deeper into my heart.  Perhaps what I should do is jump into the red ocean and let the salt scrub away all my problems and fears.  Drown my sorrows, but not in gin.
 
When I come up for air, shake salt water out of my ears, swing back my salty wet hair, I feel refreshed, renewed. My eyes sting from the salt of the ocean, but different from the sting of my tears, more benign, more natural, than tears of anguish.  Those burn right through and turn your eyes – and everything you see – red.
 I've noticed the planets have...

I've noticed the planets have mirrors on them as they reflect the buildings in the red sky. They are showing us what we are doing and how we are living in real time. We look up at them and see ourselves, our fears, our insecurities, our wins and our losses. We see our vibrant colors as we shine, along with the shadow sides as our lights flicker and dim. The mirror planets (as they are known in common parlance) can only be seen when the sky is red. It has been noted that when the red sky permeates our world, great change is in store. We must take a serious look at ourselves during this time and reflect on our life up until today. We can choose to move forward showing our vibrant colorful selves to the world, or sink back into a quagmire of fear and depression.
 
ME? I choose to embrace the colors splayed in front of me, absorbing them into my being, so that I may be one of those who spreads the colorful light and joy.
