Today has been a transitory moment for me, coming to the understanding that I am moving and making decisions on what I will leave and what I will take. Nature is .... second-nature to me. Green trees, gardens, plants all help me breath; they give me peace and serenity. I was so fortunate to have spent most of my life in the natural world, from my career in mountaineering where I lived outside for many years, to growing gardens for years in Oregon. Oregon is my home, where I grew up and where I live for the moment. And although I am super excited about moving to a new city with new opportunities, I must take a moment to express gratitude for being able to spend these last few years among the green.
Green is the color of growth, renewal and rebirth. It helps to balance the heart and head. It is comprised of yellow-- the color of clarity and optimism, and blue--the color of hope. And it is this that I choose to take with me, rather than my physical plants. Soon I will leave the Oregon green, and move to the desert brown for new opportunity. So focusing on optimism and hope, growth and renewal, will always keep me in the green.
