Blue.

You can see for yourself this morning's shade of blue; this blue makes me feel calm, and cool, and as if all is well with my world.

Some days are different; the Andaman Sea in this southern corner of Kata Beach can be aqua, teal, golden-green, jade green, steel, or grey. And for me with each of these colours comes a different mood; but it's nearly always a positive mood. Even in it's wildest state the colours of the tropical ocean mostly make me happy, reflective, open, lighthearted, inspired. And the ocean's sounds are somehow a positive influence; the hiss and swoosh are sounds that calm and delight.

So I wonder. What if the ocean were red, or orange, brown, or black? And what is it's sounds were like a metal shop or a dog pound. Would I adjust and eventually feel like I do about Kata Beach this morning? I don't know. I doubt it. It seems to me that there are some sensations, some experiences, some 'realities'  are perfect. That said, perhaps we always need to be open to change?

Leaving our comfort zone and venturing into strange environments does not come easily. And in some case maybe it shouldn't. So perhaps we all need to recognise the moment when accepting changed circumstances - embracing a new reality - is more beneficial than not?
