Clarity and Contrasts

The sky was divided this morning. It was either light or dark. There was very little colour. The light was bright, white and slightly golden. The clouds were thick dark and grey. The contrast was stunning. The reflection of the light and dark on the water was truly incredible, a perfect mirror reflection of the sky.

I learn a lot from contrasts in my life. In fact, it often takes a big contrast to illustrate something that was simple in hindsight. Perhaps it's that the contrast offers a completely different perspective on the situation and highlights the options available. There is always another option available but most times we are so focused on what's wrong that we are completely unable to notice the alternatives. Contrasts give us an interruption in our pattern and allows us to see another option.
