Shining Thru

Sometimes it’s hard to see the beauty through the clouds

The dark but non threatening clouds that hang about

Sometimes it’s hard to appreciate the beauty in front of you

It can be right in front of us and yet we miss it some how

Maybe we’re preoccupied…maybe we’re simply not looking

I wonder how many things people miss every day, gorgeous sites that everyone should love and appreciate and yet they’re not even noticed because of the way we live our lives…..

Our culture is so face paced these days…when was the last time you could take a step back and appreciate the beauty right in front of you, maybe in a person, maybe in nature, maybe in an atmosphere???  I believe there is beauty around us most of the time, it just depends if it can shine through to distract us from our problems or stress….or be bright enough to make us look up from our scheduled lives….

Always on the clock, tic toc, tic toc….Most of us fall into the nice little routine, which is fine but then what if you deviated just long enough to see a beautiful waterfall…or stop to appreciate the power of the lightening in the storm…or the charm of your own home???  What things do we lose every day by allowing ourselves to fit into a mold?
