Sun and Hurricanes
Sometimes the way
is gonna be hard and
rough
no matter which way you
go.
Times when taking a
shortcut
only means exchanging
one hard line for
another.
Some problems are
lodged
in the past for you
to muddle over when
it's quiet.
Other problems are
right
in front of you
for you to struggle
with now.
It's true you cannot
change the past
but you can change
the way you look upon
it
and sometimes the only
way
to get through the
present
is to alter the way you
look at it.
When the way is
hardest,
the freedom you have to
create
a different view for
yourself
can be the only thing
that will carry you
through sometimes.
The freedom to change
your point of view
can be magic if you let
it be.
They say contrast
deepens most
everything.
Everyone has
their share of chaos
inside
and every life runs
into its fair share of
storms.
One consolation of
trouble
is that without all the
howling winds and
two-by-fours
flying by you from time
to time
whatever kindness you
happen into along the
way
would seem hollow
and the beauty and
grace
you come across
would only be as so
much wallpaper.
For some,
who have happened to
notice
the universe looking
back at them,
no matter what goes on
after that
if they take pause,
they can feel
the gentle touch of
grace in the air,
the creativity they
feel in their veins
becomes the kind hand
of life
touching their mind and
heart
and the full breadth
events
they see in all the
world around
becomes part of the
soul of life itself.
Life would not be the
life
we each live without
both
bright August suns
and terrible
hurricanes.
Most often,
what you happen to see
depends on where
you choose to stand.
