The snow fell yesterday like it was January 16th instead of three months later than that. Instead of being the weekend of St. Patrick’s Day green it has been wild winter white. People spent their Saturday morning digging out driveways and sanding sidewalks. Not a shamrock in sight. We were no different before we headed to the office. Snowblowers and shovels. Backbreaking for the already bruised kisa.
Maybe I was thinking of Myrtle. Maybe I was envious of the Irish. I don’t know. Whatever the reason I changed one wall of my office to “Amazon” green. I kid you not. I hired a professional painter and while kisa & I hung curtains and rearranged furniture my wall of blue was washed away with an anaconda hue. It took two coats to subdue the blue underneath but in the end I had a wall of jungle.
Sometimes you need to do something a little daring. Go out on a limb. I see green as a little dangerous, a little evil. Maybe this snake-like hue will give me the venom I need to fight in the future. Court battles and corporate takeovers and cold hearts.
I sat and I watched Myrtle. Ancient and grace. Beautiful and green.

Green is good! Green is the color of the heart chakra. Read this from about.com:
The Heart Chakra is associated with the color green or pink. This love center of our human energy system is often the focus in bringing about a healing. Thus, the words “Love Heals All” have great truth. Hurtful situations that can effect our emotional being are divorce or separation, grief through death, emotional abuse, abandonment, adultery. All of these are wounding to the heart chakra. Physical illnesses brought about by heartbreak require that an emotional healing occur along with the physical healing. Learning to love yourself is a powerful first step in securing a healthy fourth chakra. The “wounded child” resides in the heart chakra.

Wow…one of my oldest and wisest friends said the same thing! I am definitely feeling better. 🙂
NOTE: Ruby’s comment was dumped into my spam box (grrrrrr) so that’s why it has just shown up. She’s the wise one! 😉
I don’t know how “wise” I am … but I do think that the green and blue combo will work well for the office colors.
I dug out a tractor trailer’s worth of room (for the tractor trailer) all morning, unloaded boats all afternoon,then spent serious amounts of energy trying to get a beer without anything green in it all night. What is really funny to me, was that I saw this turtle photo you have here, and just remembered that one of my friends called me the following morning (post ST Pat’s) to complain of his hangover as he drove with the family down to Mystic Aquarium. hmmmmmmm
HA! I may look like I have a hangover, too but really I’m awe of one of the most beautiful creatures on earth! Did you ever find that Ungreen beer?
