hello dear friends
It's an unseasonably warm day in new york city. But I'm okay with that! the warm autumn colors are still brilliant. Greens, golds, oranges, fiery reds. It really is breathtaking. I'm typically drawn to water, but the beauty of the autumn leaves in the temperate zones are something special.
We were also fortunate to make some space to travel upstate to the Catskills a few days ago and visited the Mountain Top Arboretum. My favorite part was the14,900-year-old “Emerald Bog”.
“In Latin the word for green is viridis, which is related to a large group of words that suggest growth and even life itself: vivere”
I've been thinking about green, especially the deep tones. In feng shui, green is wood element. But when it's darker, more robust it can offer the strength and life energy of an ancient evergreen tree. Forests can teach us so much about life, growth, and death. They are constantly regenerating. Always look to nature, she is the greatest teacher.
I also wanted to remind you:
