Pieces #1

"The sky seems gray today"

"What are you talking about? It's perfectly blue. As usual."

"No. I...can't see the colors"

"Colors. You're only talking about one color."

"You think the sky is only blue?"

"Well, as of now, yes, it's blue. What is wrong with you today? Get a grip."

"Why do you think the sky is blue? Why can't it be black? or purple? Or any color that we want it to be?"

"Well, ok. Firstly, a black sky will contradict the purpose of day and night won't it? Secondly, purple. I guess a light shade of purple like let's say, lavender! yes, lavender, would be nice I guess. Now, any color that we want it to be?

Then, whose world will this be?

Humans are volatile, unstable, always prone to change, the sky will be a chaos. Just like the chaos they wreck on earth. I for one wouldn't want the sky's color to be up to our kind to decide."

"Something so simple, yet so intricate."

".. ok, what now."

"The sky. So serene yet so intricate."

"So?"

"Why would one go through all the intricacies just to create a sky, for volatile beings?"

"Maybe because He knows we're volatile, so He created stuff that brings and gives us the calmness we need. The mountains, the seas, the rivers, the lakes, the trees,the flowers, it's all for our own sake. So that when one day the colors starts to fade from your eyes, your senses, you'll look around and realize that there other colors in this world, there are other source of happiness, of peace, in this world."

"but gray... is a color. Right?"

"Yes,yes. Gray is a color."

"Will I be able to see the sky you see anytime soon?"

"Of course. Just hang on there. There's enough blue in the sky for everyone in this life, including you. So hang on ok. Just, hang on there."

"I will. But, is your sky blue?"

"Thought you'll never ask. No. My sky is my color."
