First, let us just agree that there is nothing inherently bad about blue or red. Conversely, we must also agree that there is nothing exceptionally brilliant about red or blue. They are, in fact, just color. Color is simply the property that helps to describe the sensation that our eyes experience as a result of light being reflected off of an object. Red and Blue possess the ability and uniqueness to stand alone and appeal to a unique set of experiences, circumstances, and opportunities without interference from or dependency upon one another. They are base in their expression. They are primary. They require nothing else in order to be who they are. They are whole. They are singular. They are…color.
She loves Red. Her affection for red extends to the nuanced hues that exist within the spectrum of the color red. She may not be able to explain why she so readily responds to red, but she has no doubt about the fact that, red is a catalyst that moves her. She knows that even the hues of this primary sensation are able to describe the very life she lives.
Magenta motivates her to move through life with purpose and drives her to make choices of clarity. The hue of Ruby allows her to rest in a space of resolve. No matter what she may be experiencing, Ruby is her color of resolution for all that may be crashing down upon her thoughts and emotional energy. Burgundy gives her a sense of balance and bravado. She is strengthened by its deep and saturated state of reflection. Her moments of burgundy make even the most unsure of times become familiar and conquerable. Whenever she knocks upon the door of Fuchsia, she knows that fear is answering her call. Fuchsia is the over-extended brightness that masks the unknown for her. Perhaps, being fuchsia will distract you from seeing her lack of burgundy and the indecisiveness of her ruby. If ever backed into a corner, her Crimson crassness will surely be the reflection she projects and the sensation that all will experience. It is biting. Crimson is direct. Crimson is unmistakable. Crimson takes no prisoners. Crimson cares….about very little except its sensation of survival. Crimson is not always accurate and doesn’t always seek burgundy as a partner but doesn’t mind if he tags along and stands two steps behind and doesn’t speak. Crimson is always in the moment, even when the moment has passed. Scarlet is her space of sensuality. Her sexiness and seduction are supremely situated in the sensory space of scarlet. The sensitivity that she exudes within her scarlet space allows her to be vulnerable and more easily succumbed to any episodes of magenta deficiency which she may be dealing with. Ultimately, she knows that she is… the color red.
Why do you keep demanding Shades of Blue from her? If you desire to reach her you must speak her language. Even in your effort to help advance her to understandings of the blue you, it is counter-productive to ignore her sense of being complete, competent, courageous and calm in her red space. Educate her about blue…don’t diminish her because of her lack of sensitivity to it. Learn how to offer her purple. Know her well enough to not give her the shock of ROYAL BLUE as you try to share parts of you. If she consistently refuses your blue and is not flexible enough to entertain your purple, then, you must…. find another object that is more sensitive to your true blue reflection. And, that’s okay. Blue is you…and… it’s just a color…. it needs nothing else in order to be primary!
