The Beauty Of Every Day

Overcast sky's and gentle rain offer me a different outlook on my surroundings today. I notice colors and contours that are not highlighted the same way on bright sunny days. Rain has darkened somber shades and brightened softer ones in perfect contrast. The beauty I see is muted and melancholy, but oh so perfect in its setting.
Internally it can be the same, and often is. The beauty of even a bad day is wondrous. Seeing things clearly very rarely comes without viewing them through rose colored glasses of sunny days, of the soul, and with somber contemplation that only comes on cloudy ones. A true picture often demands a combination of the two, reality is usually somewhere in between.
To accept reality, you first have to know what that is. Humans are great magicians of the mind, manipulating facts to suit their fancy. Facing a true picture gives so much power for forward motion. Traveling away from the bad, or journeying toward the good takes the same first step of viewing each situation with a healthy balance of sun and shade.
