Every Person is Born Twice, the Second Life is Among the People...

Love, beauty, passion, courage, sacrifice, affection, boldness, enthusiasm, guilt, sin, anger, lust, loyalty, honour, heroic, success, fortune, fertility, happiness, purity, life, health, death, danger and emergency...These are all words the colour red stands as a symbol for.

We live in a world that labels anyone who is different from "our own" as "the other". This bothers me because we are all one. We are all human beings. Prick your finger and you'll find out. We are all the same, a body filled with many different complex systems one more significant then the other to me, the circulatory system.
I feel all these words are appropriate that I have found. These words make up what each of us holds within our mind, our body and our soul. These words are the blood that runs through our veins. They describe how we feel and how we live. They are not all good nor are they all bad. They are some of the most beautiful words and some of the most frightening words. These words are what makes us human being. These words are what we have to choose from to live by each day.

Red is also the color of the longest wave length. The red colour wave is one that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Blood is something that runs through our veins and makes up who we are. It is something inside that should not be seen by the naked eye although we know it is always there. It is when we see red that it is a warning. Red has be proven to carry the strongest reaction, as it should. Red is something that catches people attention. Red is a warning.
Our world is torn apart by violence. We see too much red everyday. I hope you are able to understand the message that I bring forth to you today. We need to act on this warning. We need to remind ourselves that red is the colour of the sun, of the hope and warmth it brings. We must teach our children that we are all one. We must teach them to be the children of the sun...


With smiles of the clouds,
Eyes of the soil, the grass and the sky.
They look to the sun for guidance,
In hopes that someday the world will be one.
They are the children of the sun.
