The sun sets on another day…
Tonight clouds jumped and rolled and a hazy sky set up for a storm. It was beautiful, but quite understated.
As the night wore on a storm rolled in. The sky flashed with streaks of white and rumbles of thunder. I found myself once again amazed by the sky and all that is around us. The storm came and there was fury in the air. I watched through the windows as trees bent and the lightning lit up the skeletons of sleeping giants. It was fantastic.
How many times do we avoid the storm when it is the storm that might save us? How many times do we not pay attention to the fury outside and take solace in the safety where we are harbored?
Perhaps we would be better to remember that sometimes the storm is not all that horrible. Sometimes the storm is beautiful and others, though scary to some, are what we need to open new possibilities in our lives and create new doorways to something better then what was. Those who fear the storm have never seen the rainbow afterwards. Often those who fear the storm are doomed to live in chaos for all time.
In the end the storm passed and there was beauty in the night. As I write this I am ready to sleep if only for a moment.
So as the sun sets on another day, stop worrying about the storm and start worrying about a safe harbor. Let’s find our way to happiness and make the world amazing every day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and enjoy the ride…
