The Backdrop of the Sky



"You are the sky. Everything else
is just the weather."
Pema Chodron

Whether the sky is a vibrant blue or a misting gray, it is a reflection of our very selves.  Black clouds may roll in or the sun may hide for days, but the sky is always there as a backdrop.  This is the same for our lives.  Our nature is the undercoating of everything we experience.  

We can learn various lessons from the sky.  It teaches us patience and tolerance.  The visual of passing weather reflects that all things come to pass.  The sky assists us in feeling hope as we search the dark sky for sparkling stars.  It is a constant no matter what crosses the broad horizon.  

The weather paints varying colors up above, sometimes hiding the sun or revealing meteors rocketing across the sky.  These are symbols of the trials and tribulations we face, but we still persist like the backdrop like the sky.
