green

You know how sometimes you just start to associate colours with feelings? I'm doing that now- with green. I know its traditionally been associated with jealousy- othello's green-eyed monster and all that. But the green I know is a lush, bright one. Whenever I see it, and I see it everyday, I get this great big feeling of expectation, of huge, irrational hope, of possibility. Let me explain a little more.


Everyday, I go for a walk at a time that is not as late as night, but not as early as evening either. I go to this place near my home, call it a stadium if you will, that is lit by strong field lights, high up in the air. These, cast their bright light on the trees near them, and the result is the green I'm talking about. So beautiful, so pure, and it just makes me so glad I saw it. even now, I'm sitting at my desk and outside I can see the trees, lit by the strong sunlight, and it reminds me of THAT green. Its become one more reason to go for a walk these days!
