Different Stages




The sky is filled with different types of clouds this morning. Between the different types there are huge expanses of clear sky which are filled with various gradations of yellow, orange and red light. Above that the sky is steel grey. The contrasts are stunning and each stage is completely different.

It makes me think of growth stages in life. Life is essentially a series of growth stages. You are either in one, starting one or ending one. Of course, there is that brief blissful period between growth stages where you just are. Each stage has its own beauty. When you surrender to the fact that life is simply a series of growth periods then it seems to be easier to navigate the stage you happen to be in. Basically, if you are alive then you are always growing.
