A Golden Time of Year
The crocuses that greet us as we open our front door are
soft yellow. The daffodils in the backyard and on the side of our house are
deeper yellow. The goldfinches that find our feeders are brilliant yellow! More
gold than not, they are aptly named. It is hard to sulk about the weather when
there is so much to awaken to us of the vibrance of Spring.
The supermarkets in our area have pansies for sale – yellow
(of course) and purple and pink flowers just invite me to think about gardening.
The coreopsis and yarrow will be out soon and, not doubt, so will the
dandelions. The sun, which plays hide-and-seek at this season, varies in color
from a whitish-yellow to an intense gold.
Yellow is a heartening color. It is the color that resonates
in our solar plexus. It energizes and inspires us, stimulates us for learning
and ups our intelligence. It brightens the artist’s palette and adds light to
the ordinary.
So amid the sporadic raindrops, despite the temperature
shifts from cold to warm to cool to hot, even with the uncertainty about the
future climate, this time of year is golden. It is filled with promise and
hope. And goldfinches to remind us to appreciate nature.
