Day 10, Monday March 23: There’s Beauty in Every Season
The scene outside my window this morning was surreal, albeit beautiful. I took a few photos, and then realized that they appeared to be in black and white but were in fact color (see below). Here in Michigan, we’ve reached that time of year where spring is fighting to gain a foothold, but winter is doing what it can to maintain its ground. I admit, the sight of snow clinging to the trees still takes my breath away for its stark beauty.
Outside on my morning walk, I took in the peaceful quiet, marked by the sound of birds calling out in start of their day. And so, I was reminded of the yin and yang of life on earth. There is beauty in every season: literally and figuratively. This is a hard time for many people, I don’t deny, but I’m also trying to relish the bonuses. Time spent in solitude and reflection, slowing down, and savoring small joys.
Take a moment in your day to express gratitude for whatever good may be coming from these strange times. Let’s also say a blessing for those who are suffering medically, socially or financially.
