Color

I have been told to always purchase sunglasses having grey lenses, as grey is the only lens shade that does not distort colors. To see the world as it should be, just darker and easier on the eyes, your sunglasses should have lenses of grey. What does it mean when, then, the entire day is grey?

Today is completely veiled by a grey shroud. The rising of the sun brought only a lightening of the grey. I look around and see the range of shades that the color "grey" can display. I see no others. No red, no blue, no green...yellow is in deep hiding and orange is but a memory.

If grey lenses show the world as it should be to your eyes, when it is sunny, perhaps a grey day shows the world as it truly is without the interference of the alien sun. Maybe this is the real state of the world that we are privliged to see only when the weather grants us an ashen day. Sunlight is a foreign object that has found its way to Earth. It is by cosmic accident that our planet lies in the path of the solar radiation as it is emitted from that boiling orb. We fear the influence of aliens on Earth - who is to say that our fears are not justified? Since sunlight is generated by an as yet mostly unfathomable celestial body, how can we truly understand its impact on our small rocky piece of the galaxy?

Do colors exist in the dark? If we were to push back the alien onslaught from Sol, how would our world appear. Left to her own devices, what makeup would Mother Nature apply? Would the cardinal be so red? Would the ocean be so blue? The green of the clover - is this a product of an alien mind-control perpetrated by the energies from beyond our atmosphere? What is the real appearance of a tangerine or perfect daffodil? Is it on days like this that we see the true form of these features of our galactic home? Is it on days like this that we see the actual face of our world, unadorned by external trappings and decorations? Is it on days like this that the whole of humanity wears grey lenses?
