The Color Green

The evening light hit the trees at such an angle that the newly formed leaves glowed a brilliant green.

The brilliant color triggered memories of having read that in some circles the color green is associated with healing.

Wondering what else might be associated with the color, I tickled the computer keys and accessed the Google universe.

Turns out green is associated with creative intelligence, envy, kidney cancer (which doesn't exactly line up with health), the devil, protection, and nature.

At first I saw absolutely no connection in all of this, but then I realized it fit. All of these things are part of a cycle, a cycle most readily seen in nature as we watch the perpetual cycle of birth and death.

In short, green is the color of life.
