A weekend Meditative Thought

I have many photos taken through the years on holidays and in various locations.  Today I have posted here three.   Each one is beautiful in my eyes but possibly very ‘ordinary’ from your perspective.

I remember I showed this picture to a friend. Within a few days she sent me a collection of absolutely  beautiful images from around her house.   (It is all about perspective).  After months of drought I found the forest area dead and dry.   Even cacti were shrivelling. I found this life in a small gully where morning mist has gathered.  At the time these bush flowers were the most beautiful I had ever seen.   They were a glimpse of Hope.

On another occasion after a bushfire – the whole area was destroyed of natural beauty yet, the fire had uncovered something.   ‘It’s only a rock’ you may say.    On that morning when my heart was sad this picture became for me an image of beauty.

Then the third picture.    Drought, and bushfire followed by a few days of rain and the third image is of the forest walk.

Only a simple track.   For weeks/ Months/years… it was brown and dead, then burnt and blackened.  After rain this picture to me is beautiful.   (Other images of beauty in the world lift my heart and I rejoice).   This one touches my soul.

A weekend challenge.    Look for beauty in your world.   Find it in the unexpected. Even the broken or the spilt may have that intrinsic essence of Hope for a better Future.

Find something BEAUTIFUL.

Have a Great weekend!
