6 days ago (Edited)

Hello, #HiveWorld! I wish you a cheerful and fruitful day, as well as sound health. Here I am today, sharing my thoughts with you about the contest of @justinparke - "Into The Blue".

Let's Delve Into The Blue Of Myself

I feel a wave of tranquillity sweep over me whenever I see the color blue, whether in the outfit I wore, the blueness of the sky, the deep blue sea, or anything that is depicted on an object. Blue has always been my lucky color. It's a color that makes me feel quiet and serene. I figured out as a child that I had a thing for the color blue. I remember feeling astonishment and exhilaration as I looked up at the magnificent blue sky. The color seemed to engulf me, filling me with joy. Since then, I've associated the hue blue with joy and abundance.

The Blossoms In Blue
Blue, I believe, has a strong influence on my emotional and mental state. It has a relaxing and comforting impact on me, assisting me in rejuvenating and finding inner serenity. When I'm uncertain or uneasy, I just look at something blue or visit my Mom's garden and touch the flowers with blue colors, and it takes away my blues. By the way, my favorite flowers, aside from orchids, are the powder blue hydrangeas and lately, the light blue bridal bouquets vine(crawling in our neighbor's fence). The petals of hydrangea are soft and silky, and the flower itself is like a bouquet that you can just cut and make a posy that the bridesmaid surely loves to carry. While the flowers of the bridal bouquet have five petals that are so delicate and each blossom clings to the vine.

In any other way, the color blue has always held a unique significance for me. It is linked to values like confidence, commitment, and honesty. These are the principles I cherish and seek to emulate in my life. The color blue reminds me to stay true to myself and to always act with openness and truthfulness. An Indian palmist also told me that I have a BLUE AURA that occasionally changes to PINK. I was puzzled as to what he meant, so I did some research and found out that a person with BLUE AURA is powerful, insightful, and flowing while the PINK AURA stands for compassionate, caring, and loving. Interesting, isn't it? ☺️

The Blue Hour

Witnessing the sky gradually change during the blue hour as the day draws to its end, creating a breathtaking coastal view is exhilarating. The sky shifts to rich shades of blue and purple, which brings a feeling of calm as the soft light gently covers the landscape. This serene setting makes the water look peaceful and inviting in Bora at dusk.

I always feel a deep sense of tranquility whenever I take pictures during this beyond-the-ordinary time. I’m drawn to the way the sound of the gentle waves is in unison with the beautiful colors of twilight. As the horizon and sky come together, the blue hour feels almost like a dream, making the coastal scenery even more stunning.

For me, this is the perfect moment for photography—every changing color tells its own story, and each fleeting moment highlights the beauty of nature as day traverses into the night. It's a truly wonderful sight that fills me with awe. It evokes a range of gentle and reflective emotions.

From the veranda of the beachfront, I looked at the coconut trees in the distance, standing elegantly beneath the night sky, their branches softly lit by warm lights that showcase their inherent charm. The illumination casts a delicate glow over the nearby landscape, while the calming sound of the sea breeze enhances the peaceful atmosphere of the scene.

When I Am Bluer Than Blue

I feel blue as I sit quietly amidst the trees, the soft rustling of leaves whispers around me, carried by the gentle breeze. I missed my son CJ as the wind played its melody in the background and brought a chilly effect on me, grounding me in that peaceful moment where time seemed to stand still. My life is like the sea - the waves continuously lapping the shorelines, sometimes calm, other times turbulent. It teaches me to flow with life's currents, assuring me that even in difficult times like the demise of my son, I will find my way to clearer waters.

Life is bluer than blue, fleeting in a brief moment in time, while pain seems to endure endlessly. It's akin to the vast expanse of the ocean, never to bask in the warmth of the sun's embrace.

How can you describe someone who has a fascination with the color blue?

Blue is silence and tranquility. Blues calm the mind. Strong blues induce clear thoughts, while pale blues are soothing.
Blue points to the transcendental, to another dimension. It is a spiritual color, aspiring to infinity.
