The sun sets on another day…
I found myself staring. I have to say, even in the face of beauty you should not stare into the sunset. It can get a little bright. As the sky dimmed the clouds wandered, and in the end, there was beauty, and perhaps a little more.

Clouds are cool.
Well, really they are cool. As the sky fills with temperature, clouds are formed with water vapor and a penchant for dirt. (Simple approach).
I often find myself lost in the clouds. Somewhere in the sky my mind drifts and I look through the bonds of earth and find myself drifting away high up in the clouds away from it all. No, I am not escaping anything. Nor am I trying to run away from my earthly chains, but instead I’m reaching out and finding a world that is larger than just where we are.
I wish more people would do that. Expand their horizons for a minute to see past what lay on the surface. Open their minds to the possibility that the world is more than what they see. Open their heart to try to understand someone besides themself.
That last one is the hard one. So many people are so stuck in what they think they know that it is very difficult for them to consider that someone else may have a different viewpoint. I remember reading a comic book when I was 16 where a villain compared himself to the hero that “I am like a man unto an ant as I stand before you” and it is here that we often get stuck. We have been in our place so long or thought our thoughts so strongly that we can’t reach outside of it. We can’t understand how someone else can disagree with us and instead we are lost in ourselves.
Well that’s enough of that. Suffice it to say that I tried to spend every day seeing others positions and trying to understand, with no hint of right or wrong, how they came to their conclusion.
Of course I have my issues and of course I sometimes think about my perspective but I honestly listen to other perspectives and I honestly believe that no one is completely wrong, perhaps, maybe, they just haven’t seeing the same things. Maybe we need to be a little bit more like clouds and drift through everything unhindered by even the wind.
As you go out into tomorrow, try to listen to the other side, and in the process, enjoy life and to walk through another perspective.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you find this weird rabbit hole uplifting. I hope you find a path to see beyond yourself. Mostly I hope that this evening allows you some happiness, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and breeze through the clouds…
