This Shade of Green

This shade of green:

with each day that first hint of green expands and grows a slight shade darker, spring is in full effect now and nature is rapidly changing, blossoming with life and beauty. I love this time of year, the quickness of this season and how it becomes measurable by the day, almost by the moment really, as a sudden rain seems to bring a flower to bloom within an instant after parting for the suns arrival. Within a week the trees will have filled out their branches with new life, a darker shade of green that eventually overwhelms me with its vibrancy.

I become so fully alive within this color.

what I most love is the contrast that it offers with the sky and the many flowers that bloom within its reach. Green is an allowing color, accompanying life in all of it’s various shades. This is the color of lights absorption, nutrients soaked into a leaf and being fed to root, branch and flower. I see this shade of green and know that I am witness to life, a miracle of existence that I’ll never understand but feel so deeply part of, knowing that I am a seamless expression of its continuation.

absorbing light too within each cell of my existence.

and that no matter how brief my bloom…

I had this moment in the sun.
