Red for blood that hums with infection
Orange for fruit, to build our defences
Yellow is fear – oozing from our screens.
Green for the fields we can no longer run in
Blue for the ocean’s wet embrace, now beyond our reach
Pink is for wounds. So many that weep
Purple? A heart for courage, perhaps.
We don’t know when this will end, we only know that this is shared.
That we are one somehow.
A trick of the light.
A curve of colour.
A cosmic coincidence.
It was always fragile.
We just forgot that it was.

Always so beautiful. Thank you B x
What a beautiful analogy. The headmaster at The Ridge did his Friday assembly yesterday on a rainbow. I’ll send you the link so you can have a listen. Very child and parent focused. I think we need to find any silver lining we can at the moment. Love and Strength to you guys xx
