Embracing Dark Clouds ...

"Look up at the sky. There is a light, a beauty up there

that no shadow can touch."

J.R.R. Tolkien 

Sitting out on the balcony, the cold air was not helping to warm my soul. I felt a heaviness and a darkness that I was hoping the winds would blow away. I experienced a tremendous sense of loneliness that just would not go away. Then I glanced up to the sky, sighting a dark cloud. Quickly, I noticed light consuming it.

I had forgotten that I am never alone, not really. Healing energy swarms around me, just waiting for me to ask for help. No matter how dark or how heavy my cloud, it can be pierced by light energy, releasing the droplets of darkness. I can choose to remain suspended in the glory of relief or turn my thoughts back to negativity.

I believe when I constantly look down at my feet, I become distracted trying to avoid potholes. When I lightheartedly gaze up to the sky, I open myself for inspiration and creativity. Watching the white clouds embrace the dark ones, I also notice the sun beaming light down upon me.
