The sun sets on another day
I wondered how sunset would pass as the clouds continue to close in and the threat of rain the assailed us all. The evening sky threatened but the rain only sputtered across the horizon. It was subtly beautiful.
There are cloudy skies above us sometimes, you really can’t avoid them. If we see both sunshine and rain the clouds are there and sometimes it’s hard to see the light. The key word here is sometimes.
There was a movie a long time ago called “The Crow” where a key statement was made that it can’t rain all the time. You can’t appreciate the beauty of a sunset without a little bit of rain or storm. It is tough to appreciate a rainbow without the mist that creates it.
It is there that I want to stop for a moment and say that the clouds can open our minds to so much more. If we only take the moment to see the intricacies. What is it that keeps us from seeing? We can actually see something truly beautiful that is already there and enjoy it any time.
Look around. What’s keeping you from enjoying your day? Perhaps that could open your mind to even more.
So as the sun sets on another day, here I am back at a cloudy day. As I look up to the sky in this cloudy day I can do nothing but smile at the clouds. Of course it’s hard to see now that it’s dark but when it was light the sky was filled with shapes and shifting mists. Now here I sit and I know that the clouds were not as important as the beauty in the clouds. The fact that the sun sets is not as important as the experience of the sunset. Enjoy your moments, cloudy or not, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and enjoy the ride…
