My favorite crayon when I was a little girl in the 1970s was Blue-Green. Not Green-Blue, but Blue-Green. I mean I ADORED this color! I would sometimes just color big swaths of intense scribbles on a blank page to let my eyes bathe in the beauty of this particular hue.
My adoration for this color is intense. It’s more like a craving craving really. My eyes can’t get enough of it. I’ve felt this way all my life.
(my recently started Puerto Rico sea glass collection)
I have also long adored warm greens and browns and rust, copper and bronze. Basically the colors of Earth. Dirt and gold...these are very sensual colors to me and they are the colors of my hazel eyes. I feel more “in my body” when I’m around or clothed in these warm earth colors.
My unconscious longing for this color palette, blue, green, brown, and gold, resulted in me amassing a collection of baubles showcasing this beauty. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, shoes, decorative boxes and more.
Then last night it hit me as Sean and I stood on our new balcony overlooking the ocean...every one of these colors I’ve longed for, craved and sought after was right there in front of us in the landscape that is our new home. It’s like this beautiful island of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 has been calling me home my whole life! The blue-green sea, the brown and rust coral rocks along the beach, the green flowy palm trees along the shore. It’s just incredible expansive beauty that seems to call to my soul.
As I realized all of this I looked down at myself and realize - I’m even dressed in this palette! 😱🙌🏽✨ I dressed myself hours earlier in the day before this pattern became apparent to me, but you see I’m ever drawn to these colors. It’s like I am part of the shore, and the shore is part of me!
Even the lace on my blouse mimics the froth on the waves!!
This is where I belong and feel at peace. 🙏🏽🙌🏽🇵🇷✨
