Chartreuse, chartreuse,
It's just no use,
You tire the eye
And hog the juice!
I finally cannot stand it any longer.
Not to be mean, Charlene, but I'm changing the scene. A new pond pearl now graces Fox Pond.
This evolving kinetic art installation, Pond Pearls changes today. We have had Charlene, the chartreuse pond pearl, for about a year now, plenty of time to contemplate the energy and effect of the color chartreuse.
Chartreuse is loud, soulless, attention grabbing, even rude. It's hardly a regular color at all! I often have to leave it out of my rainbows because it does not play well with the other colors, it is too domineering. Does this remind me of the outer world, which, at the moment seems to be coarsening somewhat?
I put up with it why?
Because it was there?
It is time for a new phase.
Pearly.
It is still early in the new pearly phase. So I don't know all that it will be about, for if I knew, there would be no point. There is always wonder.
But pearly is a color of undifferentiated swirling light in which all of the colors of the rainbow are hidden. A pearl stands for layers of protection. Layers, like clothing, social atmospheres, the meme-sphere, ozone layers, blankets of shared pollution, filters obscuring and bending penetrating light, insulation, shielding one another from harm, even the aura we create around ourselves with our power of attention.
Also, the pearly color carries the wisdom of longlasting, dark, irritation producing a beautiful thing that comes to light and is then treasured and valued. A pearl of wisdom, gained from hard experience, such as being incarnated on Earth right now.
"Sand irritates the oyster and the oyster responds with a beautiful pearl.
Allow difficulties to serve your transformation in the blossoming consciousness that you are." -RB
