I remember reading years ago in a book about spirituality that the "clouds" or difficult times in life were just passing phenomenon, something not ultimately real...that the beauty, brilliance and perfection of the sun was the true nature of life.
Fast forward to today...
During my run today I glanced up at the sky and realized that the clouds are just as beautiful as the sun, just as important and necessary. True freedom is the ability to embrace and appreciate both...to "love what is" as Byron Katie would say.
I'm such a sucker for metaphor...

Thanks for shareing. I noticed how beautiful the clouds were today too. Yes, they too are important and necessary. See you Saturday!
Looking forward to seeing you Saturday as well Alicia!
And even though the clouds are beautiful in their own right and necessary, it's also important to remember that the sun is always right behind those clouds. When it's storming, the sun is still there, you just can't see it. I guess I liken it to "this too shall pass" during hard times. It's comforting to know the sun is still there even though we should embrace the clouds too. I think I may have gotten this message from one of your Listen To Your Life sessions. I am so grateful for all you do for us! Thank you!
