The Color of “Little”

It is said that the color of love is pink, red and purple – but each for different reasons.

For example, pink is the love of all kinds, like mother to daughter, father to son, friend to friend … Red is only boy to girl, or man to woman. Purple represents both.

Yellow is the color of sunshine. It shows joy, happiness.

Blue is the color of the ocean & the sky. It’s calming & cool, peaceful & pleasant.

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony and safety.

Orange is the color of warmth, of energy. But it has no aggression.

There was a meaning for every color and her Daddy was quite concerned when she kept dressing herself in black. It didn’t seem very BabyGirl-like until one night when they returned home from an evening out-n-about.

Sitting on the couch, the BabyGirl yawned and littleness filled her eyes. With instinct, she drew her knees up to her chest – a sign she needed changed. Sitting on the hassock and beginning to undress her, he realized that the color of black was actually the color of little.

Black is the presence of all colors, all at once. Wearing black meant she wore:

blue – calm and collected, loyal and trusting.

red – passionate and desiring, romantic and feeling courageous.

pink – soft and pretty, shy and timid.

yellow – cheerful and lively, yet relaxed and renewed.

orange – energized and creative, imaginative and mesmerized.

green – healed and renewed, hopeful and ambitious

purple – accepting and sweet, yet mysterious and enigmatic

So why did she choose black to wear instead of another color? Because she was filled with the sentiments and meanings of all the colors, all at once. Just like black … The Color of “Little”.
