We recently drove about 2,500 miles on various trips from Illinois to Tennessee to Ohio to Illinois to Missouri. It was the middle-to-end of October. The deciduous trees were in full color.
Golds and reds blended with some green holding on to summer painting a beautiful landscape in the hills.
People who study these things say that the colors are always there. The green from chlorophyl hides the colors while the tree’s growth stage needs the sunlight energy converted by the green.
When the green fades away giving way to a new stage of life, the vibrant colors become exposed.
And I wondered, what holds us back? What negativity, cynicism, bitterness, or even pride and ego cover our innate vibrant self?
What do we need to start shedding in order to show our true colors?
