Sometimes there is no justice only mercy
This poem was inspired by the following line from the Moody Blues song “Nights in White Satin.”
“Beauty I’d always missed, With these eyes before” ~Nights in White Satin, Moody Blues #Song #Lyric #Poetry

So often the true beauty, the adventure and the battle is right in front of us. Keep your eyes open, be ready, stay safe and steady on my friends!

may echoes of beauty
linger forever within
our ageless souls

Life: is infinite in its variety and intricacies, if we would only take the time to look.
Beauty: a splendor in so many things that exist right before us, with no effort on your part.
Pause: we often fail to slow down enough to see, easily distracted by so many things.
I wish you moments when the distractions fade and beauty crashes in, causing you to stop and pause long enough that it simply takes your breath away. Happy Spring!

This series of photos were taken on my little cell phone (no it is not a smart phone :)) during my lunch time walk along Capital Lake in Olympia, Washington.
They are in order from top to bottom; a negative image, black and white image, sepia image, aqua image and the full color image. It was an overcast day, very little light.
The different versions got me to thinking about perspectives and how colors impact our vision. Both externally and internally, as different colors, shades and hues cause different emotional reactions.
Each photo of the same scene has a completely different feel to it. The lenses of how we view life also color our perception. Do we see colors dimly? Vividly? How does that impact our own beliefs and perspectives?
There are colors all around us and many different shades, hues that impact our vision. We must open our eyes to see the kaleidoscope of colors and allow them to touch our hearts no matter how small. ~M
