This picture was taken at 7:30 am, I felt hope. It only takes a few minutes of sun to break through the darkness of a clouded disposition. And I embraced the moment.
But alas, the sun has buried its head
as if to go back to bed
The clouds have encroached again
only to lighten the darkest shades of grey
what about that feeling of hope, of all things possible?
This feeling it will come again my friend
It may not be steady until the month of May
But when it comes, it will be Incredible!
Patience is a virtue and a test. A virtue is defined as a 'quality deemed to be morally excellent and thus is a foundation of principle and good moral being'. I had considered myself a very patient person however, Spring always gives me a test. One that often times I fear the big fat 'F'. When I awake in the morning and there is sun I am full of hope and inspiration! Then the rains come again and it's as if the sky says " Ha- Ha, nana nana boo boo thought it was bright but Who Knew"!! And I feel that sense of anger, like being the kid that classmates played a joke on and there is no one on my side. There's no way to deal with the anger and disappointment so, I sulk.
This is when I have to dig DEEP. I have spent some time gleaning tools from seminars, workshops and books; tips and techniques to conquer the 'blues'. Some days I have to pull every tool from my tool box of ways to stay positive and sane. Then there are the days I open the box and there are only shreds of paper that I have to work hard to fit together like a puzzle to find the answer. Other times I open the box and it's over flowing with solutions, it's easy. The change of seasons tends to be a challenge in many ways but it is important to embrace change, no one said it would be easy.
It isn't unexpected it is an evolution taking place- Spring, a new job, getting my art out there; nothing left to do but pull out the tools, get to work, and exercise patience!!!!
Unless you have a better idea, which I would love to hear!!
