The Color Of Nature

Jul 18 '08    Write an essay on this topic.


The Bottom Line At another site where I'm a member, I (along with any other interested party) was asked, "If nature were not green, what color would it be?" This was my response...

If nature weren't green--representing life and growth--, would it be red to represent the blood that is also life-giving?

Or, would it be yellow like the sunshine that energizes creation with its warmth?

Perhaps, it would be clear like the rain that nourishes us with water.

Neon might be a possibility because that would be like the rainbow that glows over a freshly-washed creation when the sun shines on it just right.

Perhaps, it would be white to show the purity of nature--or even black to be a backdrop for the moon, stars, and the moon-illuminated clouds that make up the oceans and islands traveled by the sailing moon.

Nature, I believe, isn't a single color but, instead a supersized crayola box!
