Black and White
Not long ago I thought that the colour of what we see was brought about by colour television. That is, when the television image was black and white, it reproduced a black and white reality.

And it seems that this is not so. That the world has always had colours; that the colours of flowers are real, and that water is transparent.
It also seems that the sky is deep and reflects the depth of the ocean.
That there are as many colours of sand as there are beaches on earth.
That green does not exist as a colour, and that some of us have green blood.
Because we are all part of the same nature, which is transparent and colourless…
Hasta hace poco creí que el color de lo que vemos lo había traído la televisión a color. Es decir, que cuando la imagen de la televisión era blanco y negro, reproducía una realidad en blanco y negro.
Y parece que no es así. Que el mundo siempre tuvo colores; que los colores de las flores son reales, y que el agua el transparente.
Parece tambíen que el cielo es profundo y refleja la profundidad del oceáno.
Que hay infinitos colores de arena como playas en el tierra.
Que el verde, no existe como color, y que algunos tenemos la sangre color verde.
Por que todos somos parte de una misma naturaleza, que es transparente y carece de color…
