THE PATH OF GREEN: Reflections on Verdure

IMAGE: A kaleidoscopic image of green refracting geometric shapes.

Carlos: What would our planet be without green?

Devani: (nonchalantly) We would not be here to write about it.

Carlos: Many things precious are not even seen.

Devani: (yawning) And many things that cannot be seen are written about, so the result is yackety-yak-yak-yak . . .

Carlos: (surprised) What's wrong with you today? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Why be so negative?

Devani: (pausing) Sorry. Sometimes it seems like an old, dark, unthinking habit. . .
