This Kind of Blue and That Kind

There is something absolutely beautiful about the night sky.  Even here in the city where there are little to no stars on any given night, the night falls wondrously into shades of blue, dark blue, deep blue, darkest blue, and finally into blackest and darkest night.

It is no wonder that the color associated with Christ is that kind of blue, whether one chooses to believe in that story or not.  It also so happens to be the color of the last remaining paintings of Loren Connors, which are even more mysterious and wondrous than perhaps even the night sky itself.

One cannot be blue when looking at this blue.
