In many cultures on the planet see spring as an holy season and many cultures have celebrations about it. Personally spring is my favourite season too even though it has an allergy effect on me. Because i really like to see awakening of the nature. To see little ones growing much bigger, to hear the birds singing again, to eat the spring fruids you waited for entire winter (plum especially, right?), to feel the wind passing through your face softly, to see the world has started to be painted in all different colors... Spring brings aliveness to all of us. After cold dark winter, to see the sun almost everyday breeds an unexplainable joy into your body and soul like it breeds to nature.
In Old Turkish language age means, green, young and life. That's why counting years starts not in the date as we know new year, it starts with the spring.
Let's get back to the expression i learned. If i say, i have seen 21 greens, what would you understand from it? I think you can guess. It means, i have seen 21 springs, and that means simply i am 21 years old. Isn't it cute? Green is one of my favourite color and i found this very cute.
I don't know how many greens you have seen in your life but i wish you all to see countless greens with joy and peace.
A little note, the book i've been reading is 'Yorgun Heykel' and the author is Üstün Dökmen.
Beijinhos.
