The beauty in change.

Written April 23, 2017

I am a firm believer that nature speaks deep truths to us if we are willing to listen. I was driving home the other day when I noticed the most brilliant sunset happening above me. The sky was a kaleidoscope of every color of the rainbow. Orange faded into a pink set in front of an electric blue which faded into a deeper red, then purple.

It struck me that the sky offers its most inspirational self to us at the edge of its change, in the space between shifting from one reality to another. It is constantly repeating this pattern of yielding itself from day into night, then from night into day, never holding onto its previous form, but allowing itself to be put to death and resurrected anew, again and again. God, give me the courage to be like the sky; knowing that the most beautiful things in my life arise in the spaces where I am willing to surrender to change, trusting that every shift in life has its own light, lesson, wisdom, and inspiration to share for the good of the world.
