A famous artist named Paul Klee said, “Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet.” Colors are amazing—they speak every language; they show our moods, feelings, memories; describe physical surfaces like mountain tops and swimming pools, old barns, summer mornings, and baseball fields before dark.

Pick a color. It might be your favorite color, or it might be a color you haven’t worn or given much thought to in a while. Then take a walk. Take your time to see and feel all the things that are this color.
