I am using green to indicate my mood today.In the past I used to like all things green.Green fields,green leaves around in trees,plants.When visiting the united States of America,I came across varied colors as it was fall time there.I thought 'wow',so many colors?
It was then that I started liking colors other than green too for plants and trees.In India because of the hot climate fall means brown leaves and dusty emptiness in trees around.But there in USA the colors felt like wearing new dresses for change by the trees and plants around.
Still the heavy green often mentioned as emerald Green is for the abundance in nature and is the color of trees.It is solidity personified of this earth.It speaks of natures kindness to man and animals.This abundance is what I think of when I speak about my days in the past.When one is young,one tends to be just happy.happy about a new dress,a friend, a new book read and anything new owned.as age sets in this greenery of the youth is vanishing to the rust colored dust or the straw colored plant stems that has given what it has to and is a sign of death for the plant.
But again thinking back I do feel that straws too has its smell.I have smelled the dryness in the rice stems that are cut and dried.Age has its beauty and perhaps death too might not be different.Youth is green but old age is straw colored but still both has its destiny.Perhaps a day in the past is as good as a day in the future.So today I am smiling.
Jayamala.
