RED SHIFT OF THE BLUE PLANET
Seen from space The Earth is a Blue Planet
When the blue of the planet turns red with fire. Millions upon millions of minds open with an intellectual translucence of energy. A pouring out of intellectual fire,
Creative work with words, ideas, art and science, mingling and moving. A red shift as the combined rivers of thought marry the waves together into a mutual fire-storm of thought and creativity.
The spread of the waves through an internet of fire joins and moves, burning borders over an internet of peaceful co-existence.
The blue planet becomes red with the fires of freedom. Red seas shine into space through sharing of cultures and mutual thought.

Do you suppose during a solar eclipse the Earth would be red when seen from the moon? Haha you make me wonder. I like your idea of an explosion of creativity. Very different for this prompt, especially with no mention of blood even in context of freedom. Good stuff, John!
I liked this – “The blue planet becomes red with the fires of freedom.” The use of colour was creative when you were comparing it to creativity and thought. 🙂 Thanks for contributing this week!
