just green

My grandmother's sari hung in our Srirangam home, an emerald whisper of heritage. When she passed, I digitized her stories on Stellar blockchain, preserving them forever. My son asked why green mattered so much. "Because," I said softly, "it represents growth, renewal, life itself." He listened as I explained how our Tamil ancestors wove meaning into every color, every thread. That green connected us across generations, binding us to something larger than ourselves. His eyes brightened with understanding. In that moment, I realized we weren't just preserving the past. We were building a bridge toward tomorrow, together.
