It hasnâ€™t violetâ€™s rapid sexual shudder or like a rough road the irregularity of ultramarine, the low puddle in mauve like a pancake covered in cream, the disapproving purse to pink, the assertive brevity of red, the whine of green.”
“Father, I have much to be grateful for tonight and I thank you. I have much to regret and I ask your forgiveness.

Help me to sleep well tonight and to wake early ready for that daily yet greatest of gifts, a fresh start.”
