Do we not love Spring? I am loving this Springtime, and that is likely so since my relocation last autumn into an area where green is the primary color.

My back lawn stretches a quarter of an acre, and trees’ branches draping the creek are clothed with thick, rich greens. Chilly Spring breezes shake leaf-laden arms, and the new foliage waves a happy, “Hello! We’re here.”

Okay, I confess, I have befriended local squirrels that now dine by two’s on my patio; by their mere appearance, they signal their friendliness from the table and chairs I set for them. Early some mornings, bird chatters and duests are so loud, I grin imagining they are singing phrases from their own outdoor opera. Like ourselves, ‘How exquisite can life show up?’ I ask you.

Green is the Color of My True Love’s Hair

I have fallen in love with green. I am fascinated to the point of designing my next web site in lush greens and deep golden tones. The site will premier in June.

For many of you, hair can be one’s crowning glory. We color our glory; wash it, perm it, curl it, heat it, blow it, or wash and toss; we cut it really short, or sometimes we even cover it up with hairy facsimiles.

In today’s world, we nearly have to color our hair green to get noticed, because we might frequently feel lost in vast business and cultural developments and technological changes – they are everywhere. Some days with raised eyebrows, I ask, ‘Have I disappeared? What more must I wade through?’

Do you sense loosing what you thought was a solid identity, or a fade of your personal ego? Well, don’t let me stop you, because all was illusory from the start - we just forgot. While you are at it, feel flummoxed, too.

Scooch over, David. Green is about life, living, health, and sensing new growth in our environments. One description implies green as jealousy, envy, or naïveté.

If you are feeling green with new growth choices because the old ones are fading fast; feeling green with vast options of thought and reasoning; feeling green wondering if quiet time has worth; feeling green about dramatic climate changes, then join the bustling throngs around Planet Earth. Many of us Earthlings are scratching our heads in wonderment.

Green is a big, hairy deal. Let’s fall in love with new strands that spring into our landscapes of family and biz environments. Intuit those pesky split ends, and rinse gently with conditioning discretion, of course.

Party with the crowds’ growths in development. Choose more greens to bare and flair on your hair. Go for it – do not hold back your questions; be fearless; allow the inner, green-haired lover to revel wherever you appear.

Hear Beauty

Take a breath, yes, right here, take a breath. I’ll wait till you have exhaled... Ready? Read slowly… Now, sense your eyes as they read across the computer screen, reading these words, then these words. Can you imagine these letters typed by you instead of me?

Read slowly… Are you able to hear beauty just by looking at the word beauty? I thought you could. You and I have just performed an intention. Intentions are that easily recognizable and doable; intentions are fragile and strong and meaningful for as long as you and I say so.

As we take a break to hear beauty surrounding us at this moment, we are doing it together – in unison. We may silently share an experience that couples us, not parts us. Let’s call that empathy: hearing and sharing beauty, one with each other. Shhhh… listen to our heart.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what's being created.  ~ DM
