Grass is green only one season of the year. When it is green, it colors everything and life around it appears so vibrant and exciting. Then comes Fall and Winter. And while the two seasons have a beauty all their own, they are phase out seasons of a year. Grass is brown. The vibrance is lost from everything and life around it appears slower and introspective.
The new year changes during this slower, more introspective time of year. People seem to be ready for a change. They resolve to make certain changes to better their lives. They try to affect them when things around them are slower. That's as it should be. Changes usually happen slowly before building momentum. As Spring arrives, momentum builds and the changes take root, they help people become ready for the one season of the year where life is vibrant and exciting. It is then that people actually believe the changes that they might have detected or seen in those who followed through with their resolutions.
I always look forward to the time of year when grass is green to see all the nuances of the changes people have made. But, I pay attention during this time of year, the beginning of Winter because I know people are resolving to affect their lives during these days. My hat is off to all the new resolutions. It should make for greener summer.
