The Green Man (Contemplative Coloring)

Coloring with the Green Man

More and more people are rediscovering what they already knew when they were kids-coloring is fun. What''s more, coloring can lead us into a deeper awareness of both our inner selves and the world around us.

The Green Man images in this coloring book have been paired with short quotations from two of Anamchara Books'' titles: The Green Man: Ancient Symbol for the Modern World and Celtic Nature Prayers: Prayers from an Ancient Well, both by Kenneth McIntosh. These quotations are offered for use as mental focal points as you color, with space provided for you to jot down any thoughts that may rise to the surface.

As you color, you may find yourself connecting with Nature in a new way, experiencing what poet Elizabeth Browning described: "Earth is crammed with heaven and every bush aflame with God."
