More Whistler Quiet Beauty

Another brilliant sunrise up here in the mountains. When you step outside you can smell the smoke from the early morning fires that have started up. You can imagine all the pots of coffee that are brewing or perhaps already finished. It's a time of day where all things seem slower to me. That is probably in direct contrast to the reality in many houses where kids are racing around to get ready for school. Perhaps dogs need to be walked and lunches need to be made. Paradoxically, it is probably the time of the most chaos in a day.

There is power in paradoxes because they reveal stark insights if you are willing to see them. The paradox reveals one reality on the outside and another more provocative and contrasting insight on the inside. All is not how it seems. In fact, it is usually the opposite. That's the power. The answers that you seek are generally right in front of you and usually contained within a paradox in your situation. But you have to be aware of this, looking for it and not resistant to seeing the obvious in the obscure.
