colours behind the meaning of life

.
mood: Calm.

we come into the world without teeth.
we grow old and loose them.
perhaps it's because we no longer need to eat?


i was trying to find my old notes.
those i wrote for michael barret's english literature class.

couldn't find them.
so i have to rewrite this.

this will be a series of my pass thoughts,
my notes,
they were assignments of a daily journal.
which we had to submit weekly.
what we have observed, what we did etc...


and this was one of my favorite observation

about colours in life.

life is a funny thing.
colours are like senses,
and signals to life,
that makes life funny, and interesting.

when we are born, our hair is light.
it turns darker as we age.
and again lighten as we age even more,
till it's white. all white. pure white.

unlike flowers, trees, and animals,
when their life begins,
they are so colourful, so beautiful. vibrant.
but once they age, they turn dull.
like their purpose is done.

cremate them to ashes and they turn white.
they reunite with the earth, a new purpose.

this whiteness seems to symbolize,
that there's another purpose, yet again in life.
as if as when we age, when our hair turns white,
there's another reason we should live again.
or a whole new adventure awaits us, after life.

that we should be pure before we begin a new life.
a new phrase.
we should be in an enlightenment state to do so.

let things be, leave them.
don't have any regrets, drop them.
don't let the past haunt you.

live life with no regrets.
leave life as pure as you came.

Of course, if your boyfriend is a hairstylist, your hair doesn't have to get lighter as you age. :P But this was really cool, thank you for sharing.

That's certainly something that won't crossed our minds in everyday life. Thanks for sharing.

You write well and your observation is so awkwardly true.
