sky

the sky has always been a symbol of spirituality for me. the space beyond our world makes me feel part of something bigger. i love the light of the moon and staring up at a sea of stars. sunlight has become more important to me in recent years. lately, clouds have been catching my attention. i'll sit and just watch the clouds go by - they are quite a sight through our 10 ft high windows.

i imagine that God looks like the bright sun breaking through clouds. even if you don't believe in God, i don't think you can deny that this world we live in is a beautiful place. so, when your mood needs a lift, look up. if it's a gray day, think of it as the universe commiserating with you. you are never alone. nature is all around you.

i'm in good company with this thought:

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be ...Anne Frank
