A Silver Lining to Every Cloud - A Cloud to Every Silver Lining
When we rejoice under a sky as happened yesterday evening two old sayings came to mind, over and above some others I will reveal as we go. Taking a peak through onto the hills from my home.
"A Silver Lining to Every Cloud" an optimist, or "A Cloud to Every Silver Lining" the pessimist, either way we relate to both under different circumstances.
A bad year being wished away, ill health, bad storms we always hoping an unpleasant situation would come to an end.
Had we not experienced the bad patch of illness, time or weather, we would most definitely not anticipate a brighter future, the saying almost denotes one has to pass through hard times to appreciate better.
Life is the journey we have to travel under dark clouds of depression or doom or whatever faces us during our times, enabling us to recognize the end when eventually revealed.
No matter what life serves up, we are always presented with a positive from within negative events, we need to find them.
All Is Not Gold That Glitters
Warning not to go blindly on the belief of others. Anything presented as a bright shiny future or object may burn your fingers or more.
From a distance the clouds appear as alien terrain looking down into an unknown world.
Zooming in a little appearance of gold being smelted, bubbling churning embers above.
”All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien - The Fellowship of the Ring
You see, we don't always need glitz and glamour, just watching this half an hour of sunset revealed more than intended, seeing hell and fury, witnessing the silver lining, gold rush at it's best, a spectacular end to the second day of 2021.
OK now we on the third day it takes time to prepare and post, a little thought about old sayings I hope you enjoyed, if not I hope the photo's enthralled you as the sky captured an unusual Fire Dance.
Here is wishing you a wonderful new week wherever you are on our little blue where the sun shines for me and you.
All photography is my own using Canon Powershot SX730 HS. Qny queries or requests please drop a comment below or make contact with me, have a wonderful day! Photography without tripod, go with the flow wherever life takes you.
