Welcome to the first day of June, the Children’s Day in 27 Country’s around the World. Here in Portugal the sun is blessing us with warm days and our streets and cost line’s are full of people! For me it is always a pronounce of a great day, when the sun shines like this, reveling all the beautiful colors our Universe as to offer! The first short story of the month is called “Colors of Creation” and was written by Hungarian writer and painter, Judit Lörinczy. It is all about the Sun and the colors… presented as a story teller would do to their grandchildren or to the grandchildren’s of others! And today, as the sun shines on me, I just want to feel like a small child, reading a beautiful fantasy story. Care to join me?

Yet the challenge had to be answered.
‘Green! Blue! Red! Their sweet children Yellow, Lilac…’
‘Sea is not blue, grass is not green,’ replied the Voice. ‘You are not only brown, either.’
‘The sea is Blue, the grass is Green!’ echoed our choir. Read the rest of this entry »
