Write about green they said. My brain flashed through images and brought up a square of color something between emerald and basil. And I didn’t like it. Green is not a color I’m drawn to until I think of the green of lawns and oak leaves, of moss and oceans. That green speaks to me; it talks of springtime, possibility, and growing. And those are some of my favorite things. Green reminds me that I believe change is possible, that redemption happens, and that winter never lasts forever. It reminds me that our internal life happens slowly, like a plant grows. Green is the color of patience and hope and life.
Green is the color of patience….I like that.
Thank you, Kris! Some things can’t be hurried, and growing (people or gardens) is one of them.
