My
Life In Colors

When I was young everything was a
friendly green. 1965 things started to take on a mysteriously intriguing
purplish gold hue. By 1971 the world was opaque. As I passed through my
twenties and into my thirties, the yellow of promise shone brightly. A dizzying
blast of red hot love came and went in the twinkling of a soft blue eye.
Turning forty five, smoky gray complacency tinted my life. For a time life became
a pointless beige. Today the past is a brilliant unforgiving crystal clear; the
future a hazy tawny sunset.
I miss the green.
