Second Question

Within each of your Groups do you see commonalities?

I think the first commonality for me is that all of the items in all of the groups are specific to me.  I had something particular in mind, even though I wrote a rather abstract word.  I've been to each city, landscape and interior.... and I wear those items of clothing, and am surrounded by those colors.

Another commonality is that I have a very positive association to all of them.  Each color, or city or anything at all that I wrote down made me smile.  That's kind of funny to me.  I don't know why.

My colors all ones that remind me of people, of paintings and of pictures that I love.  They are also colors that bring to mind other senses beyond seeing.  I can taste and feel them as well.

The cities all are places where I've gone with Joe.  Seeing the world.  Getting out of my small town, and being part of the larger planet.  I have loved these cities.  Eaten, walked, played, laughed, cried, made love, friends and favorite spots. I have felt fully there in each one and would go back in a heartbeat.

The landscapes are all ones that are archetypal to me.  Places I have been and that have swooned me.  I can see the grandeur of Yosemite and Glacier in the mountains, as well as the softness and ancient beauty of the Blue Ridge.

The beaches range from my home of St. Augustine to the Gulf to the Pacific and most recently to the North Atlantic in Prince Edward Island. 

Interior spaces are mine.  Places where I relax, I create, I pray, I live.

And the clothes are all about comfort, warmth and solitude.  I also wear these things into the Church at the Monastery when I go in the middle of the night for Vigils.  :)
