Where there is no light there is no colour. Here is light.

[olla]

it is the color of laughter carried on a wisp of sea breeze when the velvet night is just beginning to mist into the promise of morning coffee after spindrift and moonbeams have glazed the tips of mermaid fins.. one can only see it for a fleeting moment before the shades of yesterday bleach the brilliance from it.. one can only keep it fresh by not counting the tick and tocks of the crocodile clocks..

The best pauses ever... only you can pause like no other.
Thank you.

You pose a very intriguing question... getting in that Zen state of mind.

[sharonlee]

The shades of all the yesterdays
melt and merge into the hue of today
melt and merge
mixing
all the colors of the universe
into.... grey... SLG

Hi Shar...

[Emerald Seas]

Well, what color is tomorrow if your eyes open to yesterday? It almost sounds like a repetitive circle of being caught in the past. Kinda like Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day, the same moment lived over and over... When do you get to pause on today? Just a thought... Pausing to reflect now :)

[Chris]

uh huh...

[Emerald Seas]

Lol... Not sure if that's a positive uh huh, or a negative one... Or a whatever one! ;)

[Chris]

weeeellllllllllllllllllllll... seems Kimmer has all the "neutrals" tied up, Jazz has the "sparklys", Freida has the deep darks...

[Emerald Seas]

Ah, so sloppy 4th's on the review comments then? Lol

[J. J. Nightingale]

Lol .....................

[Chris]

4ths are never ...sloppy, they just require more attention.

[Emerald Seas]

Oh, I see there is a method now to your madness ;) lol... This is getting interesting...

[Chris]

insanity is a fair word...

[Emerald Seas]

Pleeeeaase.... You are far from the realm of insane

[Chris]

I have never professed "sanity" - just lived it.

[Chris]

somewhat

[Frieda P]

Sounds dark to me, but maybe it could be burgundy like fine wine or hope...

[Chris]

Burgundy... I kind of like that.

[Frieda P]

Did you have something in mind, or did you just want to drive us batshit crazy with your clever write? ;-)

[Emerald Seas]

Good question, Frieda! ;) playing the instigator today...

[J. J. Nightingale]

(I think the latter is what Chris had in mind Frieda) .... lol ....

[Emerald Seas]

I agree Jazz! ;)

[Chris]

but Freida dear, you're such a lovely shade of ...blushed burgundy

[Frieda P]

I also agree with Jazzy! ;-P

[J. J. Nightingale]

Thank you !!! :) .......Lol .. but I am already THERE .. so Chris drove ME ..nowhere !

[Chris]

sigh... what IS a man to do while such vixen women ...smile. Uh, I don't disagree with Jazz, but...

[Frieda P]

ugh...see, you did it again!!

[Emerald Seas]

I am NOT going to answer Chris' question... Lol

[J. J. Nightingale]

geee thanks Chris ......Uh. I think ...lmao ...

[Chris]

yes...but it kept you here while you focused on the smile behind your eyes...

[J. J. Nightingale]

I need to go take my little green pill .. so I can at LEAST keep up ... >>>

[J. J. Nightingale]

True Dat Chris .. True Dat !!

[Frieda P]

[J. J. Nightingale]

[Chris]

Dear to the right of me, Dear to the left, Dear before my eyes and an absent Dear below... a very soft smile here...

[Emerald Seas]

Wine here! Merlot :)

[J. J. Nightingale]

A giggling silly self here ... smiling earring to earring.. too .. who knew .. :)..

[Frieda P]

[J. J. Nightingale]

[Chris]

[Chris]

Life is always too good to last...but the living is fun...

[J. J. Nightingale]

Truth be said ................

[Chris]

Freida, Jazz, and Sera - thank you for the light tease and play... it was fun...come by anytime at all

[J. J. Nightingale]

:) .......................................... >>>

[Frieda P]

Oh, Chris thanks for that hon! ;-) You just made me think of something....ha

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Taking on three feisty ladies... you are a brave soul Chris.

[KAOlmsted]

This is quite a riddle you've posed for us here...is it beige? ;-)

Keeping our eyes open to yesterday is quite often the only way we can know tomorrow...thanks for allowing me to pause upon your page.

[Chris]

why wouldn't I want you ...pausing with me, Kimmer?

[KAOlmsted]

"Allowing" was probably not the best choice of words *laugh* I must be tired. I should have said "Thank you for writing such an interesting piece that made me sit and reflect and...pause." ;-)

[Chris]

"You gotta fever?" "That really wasn't you falling out and cascading across the floor just now!" Beige IS a good answer...

[KAOlmsted]

:-D It's my favorite of the neutrals...

[Chris]

so now you're being "neutral" on me? sigh... Was "Eroticism..." that bad too?

[KAOlmsted]

God damn it...I have to go...I always love talking to you and now I'm being cut short. Oh, I never even saw that...RR it to me ;-) I highly doubt it was bad in the poorly written sense. Have a good night, Chris.

[J. J. Nightingale]

Tomorrow is elusive
We can write "tomorrow"
We can speak of "tomorrow"
Plan on it ..
But we can not see it
or know it's secret colors ..
until it becomes yesterday

As usual, I don't know what I am saying .. but I am trying to understand You ... J.

[Chris]

you do ok...

[J. J. Nightingale]

Maybe I should have said "Ruby Red" .. as a color for tomorrow .. like those magical slippers Judy clicked together ... to go home ...

[Chris]

hmmmmmmmm... now THAT is a good thought.

[J. J. Nightingale]
