Purple Sunset

On Sunday evening, the day chose to wear purple and it reminded me of Jenny Joseph’s poem Warning that includes the words, “When I am old, I shall wear purple.” It suggests a freedom of expression that has been repressed in earlier years, and warns friends and family not to be surprised when that happens.

I was surprised by the purple sky, but thankful for it. It was like an old woman wearing purple with a red hat, and it made me happy.
