The Other Direction

While I was walking this morning on my last morning walk in Vancouver, I noticed a very gray sky. This is common this time of year. However, much to my surprise in the opposite direction was a beautiful sky. In fact, it was a stunning sky. If I hadn't turned around I never would have noticed it. It was in the opposite direction.

How often have I looked in the direction that I am going and missed the beauty in the opposite direction? In fact, I always say that the solutions we seek are not in our direct path and often lie in our periphery. In this case, it was 180 degrees in the opposite direction. What if it were that easy? What if we just have to turn around and carry on?
