I am reading a book called "HABIBI". Liyana, a 14 year old girl, has moved with her family to Jerusalem from St. Louis. Listen to this paragraph, "Liyana's eyes fell upon a small, shapely green lamp, exactly the color of the green grass she missed back home in the United States -who ever thought about grass when you had it? Who ever thought about missing a color?"
Thus today I've been thinking of the color green - and green grass.
The color of green grass takes me back to 1981. I was in Kanazawa Japan riding my bike as a missionary. We would pass field after field of Rice. I thought there was nothing more beautiful than those green green Japanese rice fields.
I loved looking at them.
Maybe that is why Grass Green is one of my Favorite Colors!!:)
