Reading over the "cliff notes" here, according to Wikipedia, I'm fully reminded of the storyline that is this book's. I remember being attracted to the book by its title, though I suppose it must have been that I saw it as a "soft" one.I remember being able to read the book, no problem; that is, I wasn't confused by any of the description or context. And for the age I'd been when I read it, I considered that to be a notable thing for me; an achievement.
In learning the reference behind the book's title, here, it's something to understand the full scope that is any color & being able to appreciate all that a color, all that any moment in our time of life, has to offer. Being able to let go of every ail & embrace whatever beauty may be.
Celie, with Shug's assisting foresight, does just this while in the field of flowers. When, officially, deep breaths can be drawn, acceptance can be made, acknowledgement of the unchangeable can become a real & healing thing.
It's a further testament to that which we already know - when we cannot change a circumstance we can hold a grudge, we can have disdain for a person, place, or thing - though none will be an accomplishment other than to exhaust us, wear us down, & leave us just as miserable as we'd been before (if not more so). Taking in the "deep sighs" of life can be the healthiest & most rewarding.
Unlike certain other books which similarly take a turn on screen, this book, as a movie, linked here bodes well with its casting, direction & producing. At least in my humble opinion. 😏
