Beauty Amidst the Fear

August 22, 2009

I was sitting here reading a blog from a member of The Training Room. She shared how her early morning quiet sparked great memories. And it reminded me of last night.

My comfy chair where I sit and use my laptop is smack up beside a beautiful picture window that looks out over a beautiful country scene. Right now the field is planted in corn which is just now "gone to tossle" ... that means the top sprouts this brownish yellow part of the plant which lets you know the corn is ready or soon ready for picking.

But last night I was sitting here finishing up my blogging and admin work and I looked out and the sunset was casting long shadows over the field and the bright spots in between the shadows were gleaming gold. It was spectacular.

I kept working and all of a sudden everything outside went greenish. Oh no, tornado warning. That eery green calm where nothing outside is moving. I went to the back window and saw that the clouds were breaking back there with bright sunshine. I came back to the front window and there was a beautiful rainbow.

Isn't that just like life. Beauty amidst the fear.
