even trying to use "Open ID" comes to nothing.
Is there any way someone could please post this story over there,
or send folk this way to read it?
Any help would be much esteemed!!)Stephen ponders the Rainbow of Jack
Christmas Day aboard
Surprise and having stolen a few quiet moments at the rail during the tumult of the changing watch, Stephen was captivated by the prism of rainbow colours thrown up by the spray.
A rainbow is truly a gift from nature, he thought, pondering on the colours along with Christmas gifts and Jack . . .
His red is garnet.
Strong, passionate, devoted.
You feel him at your side, capable and solid. A steady force, a constant ally.
His orange is coral, fiery and exotic.
A man so spirited and full of life.
And he's bestowed that spirit on you, a delicate balance in your hands.
His yellow is amber.
Golden, rich, translucent.
Like his hair, so lustrous, you could almost taste the richness.
His green is emerald.
You rejoice in his powerful, knowledgeable touch.
Yet he can still amaze, reveal a sparkle for things kept hidden.
His blue is aquamarine.
Clear, calm, crystalline like the seas he commands.
Rare and unique.
His indigo is midnight, deep as the sky.
His violin echoing your cello late into the watches of the night.
Content in the quiet stillness or vigorous action of his simmering passions.
His violet is amethyst.
Vivid, purposeful, creative.
You draw on him for inspiration in many things, your muse, your confidante.
You see the pattern of his rainbow but have no need of any pot of gold.
He has more riches to offer than that.
And you gladly partake.
Wishing a very happy and blessed Christmas
