Contrast

Canna Lilies on an August sky




Opposites on the color wheel equal maximum contrast:  red and green, purple and yellow, blue and orange. Though Things I get to do today drew me to sit in the rocks of the front yard and extract plants that were not supposed to grow there, when I looked up, I was stunned. Morning clouds and high overcast has gradually melted away to reveal the deep blue sky that makes your heart ache. Add an orange Tropicana, and the picture is complete.




Contrast in life helps us define what we prefer.  When you experience what you don't want, you know more clearly what you do want.  So bless those unwanted things as they show you the way to clarity.  Then focus on what you are preferring, what you are desiring.  Tell only that story, and then watch it come about.
