Biblical Darkness Green

More From Franz Kafka

And talking about dark! you think dark is just one color, but it ain't. there're five or six kinds of black. some silky, some woolly. some just empty. some like fingers. and it don't stay still, it moves and changes from one kind of black to another. saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. what kind of green? green like my bottles? green like a grasshopper? green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? well, night black is the same way. may as well be a rainbow.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
A few days back someone sent me two feathers. two bird's feathers in a sheet of note-paper with a coronet, and fastened with a seal. sent from a place a long way off; from one who need not have sent them back at all. that amused me too, those devilish green feathers.

I see a green tree. and to me it is green. and you would call the tree green also. and we would agree on this. but is the colour you see as green the same colour i see as green?

They'll sell you thousands of greens. veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like; but that particular green, never.

If there be any who nurture in their hearts the poisonous brew of enmity toward another, i plead with you to ask the lord for strength to forgive. this expression of desire will be of the very substance of your repentance. it may not be easy, and it may not come quickly. but if you will seek it with sincerity and cultivate it, it will come. and even though he whom you have forgiven continues to pursue and threaten you, you will know you have done what you could to effect a reconciliation. there will come into your heart a peace otherwise unattainable.
Forgiveness Heart Expression
