The sky is a canvas
When you wake up and go outside, take a few minutes to appreciate the sky.
Do it again throughout the day whenever you remember to do so.
Appreciate the change of colors as the hours pass.
Watch the colors play with the highlights of the sun on the clouds.
The wind scatters the clouds. The sun provides energy and color.
You can’t change the sky. It is the way it is. Beautiful scenes may only last a moment, and no moment is wasted. Pictures don’t do it justice. Getting too attached to any scene is pointless. It’s a great way to learn to detach.
Life is a canvas with random patterns.
It’s up to us to decipher them and take joy in their beauty. We can’t control the way things play out, but we can always appreciate the action.
Too often I find myself rushing to get from place to place, to do the next thing.
When we live like that, we don’t take the time to look up.
By stopping where we are and appreciating the awesome wonder of our planet, we shrink back down to where we belong…
Right here in this moment at this time. Not thinking in the future or past.
