Green

Green is one of my favorite colors. Perhaps because it is one of the first signs of new life, especially after a long bleak winter that seems to sap all of the life from my soul. Green, when it sprouts all light and delicate, whispers that Spring and a fresh start is here. It works it’s way gently into my inner most conscience and begins to awaken my heart and soul. The sun, suddenly appears brighter and warmer and ready to give the energy and life that it seems to have been holding back all winter long.

Green is what shows up months, sometimes even years after a tree has been pruned or cut down altogether. It works its way out of the depths of that long forgotten trunk and reminds me that even when it looks like all is lost, it really isn’t. There is always the hope of life. There is always the chance for a new beginning. It may be small and it may seem like I won’t ever catch up to where I want to be, but life is there nonetheless, hanging on and not quitting. Green is beautiful and full of whatever is the substance of life itself.
