About This Quote

When the narrator of the story is looking at the sky over the sea, she notices that the sky is blue. She also notices that it is very cold out. Then, her friend Carmen takes her hand and leads her to a place with blue painted walls. There, she shows her a series of blue paintings on the walls.

Everything about the place is blue, but it is not cold. The blue color brings happiness because it is warm and inviting. She realizes that this is the kind of happiness that she wants for herself.
