An Interview with the Color Blue

So Blue, what have you been doing since my last interview with you? Well, I still hang out (or should I say “up”) with Sky. And I’m down with oceans, rivers, lakes and seas. However, Sky sometimes meets up with Black or Gray. That’s when I need to get away from Sky! Well, where do you really like to be most of the time? Gosh, that’s just difficult to say. I’m in so many bodies of water (which by the way are not these days always clear to see). I miss when I was crystal Blue in water all around the world. Anyway, I love that I get to surround the creatures of the ocean. I’m in so many things, I simply can’t choose a favorite. Well, tell me some of your favorites then. I enjoy being a Bluebell although I can’t ring. Humans have made plastic and metal bells of blue. Then I get to ding-a-ling. I really love to shine in stones like sapphire or of aquamarine. As a Siamese Fighting fish, I simply can’t be beat. And when as a blue jay I am on the wing, you can hear how beautifully I sing. As a peacock I feel very proud, and when I’m a blueberry, people just eat me up! Wow, you are a part of so many things. Maybe you are Mother Nature’s favorite color. I think perhaps I am. You could even say that I’m like God because I’m in so many places at the same time, and I’m even in some people’s eyes. I wonder why all the colors like you are able to be in so many places at the same time just as God is said to be. What do you think, Blue? I suppose it’s because we are a reflection of God Himself. Personally I think I am one of God’s favorite colors. Do you like me the best of creation’s colors? Yes, I think you are really cool. I even put you in my eyes as contact lenses when I want my eye color to pop! And what’s more, you symbolize many things: freedom, imagination, the wild blue yonder, sensitivity, inspiration, and loyalty, for example. Well, I really enjoy being called True Blue, so loyalty is big with me. However, with all the contamination these days, I am feeling really Blue, and I do not mean that in a good way. Yep, for people you can sometimes be quite an unwanted emotion! But at the same time, many of us like to listen to you as Blues music. Keep your chin up, Blue and we’ll catch you later.

Andrea, I liked reading this...it sounds like real conversation, which is always a pleasure to take in. The transition to feeling blue at the end and blues as music was a poignant reminder of where we are these days.

Fabulous interview. I liked 'being called True Blue." That was brilliant as was "I think I'm one of God's favorite colors." Nicely done, Andrea and a great contest contender. Have a splendid evening, hugs, Sara

Dear Andrea, This is such a wonderful, whimsical exploration of the color blue, revealing its multifaceted presence in our world. Through playful dialogue, you personify blue and highlight its diverse manifestations, from the sky to stones, creatures, and emotions. I loved the creativity of significance and symbolism attached to colors in our lives and how they reflect the complexity of human experience. - Blessings, Daniel
