An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere.

JOHN’S LETTER TO ELLEN:

Dear Ellen of GlimpseLand,

Prompted by your invitation to penetrate a Glimpse, in your splendidly special book, THE WORLD OF GLIMPSE, I thought I would penetrate one…

And there I found a whole rainbow, end to end,

All synnovated with swirling color,

Particularly green!

Bounding with greenescence it was!

A veritable spectrum of greens!

 

And here was my very next thought

That came tumbling by

From right within your Glimpse!

Wander through any grassland

or woodland or forest,

Wherever you might be!

And what will you find?

 

You’ll find that every species of grass or shrub or tree

Is a different color of green!

Your Lunaberry Forest and well beyond, is filled with

Spunktaneous green, and emeralding green,

Of infinite range,

An endless spectrum of green,

The middle color of the rainbow!

 

Thanks so much for The Glimpse – The fleeting journey!

 

With lots of love,

John of MoltenoLand.

 

ELLEN’S REPLY TO JOHN:

Dear John of MoltenoLand,

What a beautiful Ode to Green!

Yes, green, that somewhere between yellow-and-blue color, seems to be everywhere with its many tones, tints and shades. It is, indeed, the color of nature, of early spring and mid and late summer. It is both soothing and energizing – just think of brilliant emerald!

I love the mystery of the emerald flash which, if you are fortunate enough to witness, occurs just as the last part of the sun disappears at sunset. Green, which deepens into emerald, is also the final color of THE WORLD OF GLIMPSE and the source of its completion. Just imagine a world without green!

With love and appreciation for your wonderful insights,

Ellen of GlimpseLand

P.S. VIEW a short excerpt from THE WORLD OF GLIMPSE, where the rainbow, too, which stretch-arches across Glimpse, now has a final color:  Green!
