What Color Is Green? And finding beauty..


My thanks to Chris Lekander for inspiring this blog!! What Color is Green is a story about finding beauty in being the change you want to see in the world. What color is green to someone who has never seen?

Whether you have the gift of sight or not, may you feel deeply the beauty an joy that exists in the contrasts of our life.

After a long winter, how can I explain the beauty and delight of the emerald green lawn that has suddenly awoke-- of the trees which have exploded in colorful bright pink flowers-- to someone who has never seen? Yes certainly, the gift of life, of sight to see, is a most precious gift.

That story unfolded into a beautiful message when a filmmaker witnessed children at the Kamla Mehta Dadar School for the Blind in Mumbai celebrating the Indian festival of colors -- Holi -- he decided to turn the experience into this poignant and playful public service announcement. Upon completion of filming, he and 67 others pledged to donate their eyes to those in need.
