The wind continues to play with the clouds on the mountains.
So, if you feel bad on any day, just step outside and let nature comfort you.
I take all of my troubles into nature, as then it clears my mind to think rationally and logically. They say that every action, has an equal reaction (or something like that). A hard bone for me to chew, as I act on instinct, and at times it can come at great cost. Not physically, or financially, as that is the least of my worries, but rather emotionally. I am a very direct person that doesn't beat about the bush, and some can take offence, but the difference is that I talk from the heart and not from the rubbish in my head that they call a brain.
This world with all of its traps, pitfalls and trauma results in a tarnished brain, and I have had tons of that. but the one thing that I have learned through it all, is to follow my heart. It took me a long time, but it works for me. That's why when I see the clouds gathering and flying over the mountains it shows me how fleeting our lives are. Nature is the teacher, and I am the student. A heart should remain solid like the mountains, and the clouds represent one's thoughts, ever changing.
Those clouds cast a large shadow on the mountains. So, if the clouds are symbols of our thoughts (in our minds) and the mountains are symbols of our hearts, strong and resolute, then those shadows, cast by the clouds, are like the troubles, worries, fears, and issues that try to get into our hearts to distract, disrupt, and disturb us. They may linger long on the surface, but they cannot truly infiltrate our hearts. The clouds may pour down their waters onto our hearts with all kinds of storms, but they cannot infiltrate our hearts, as the truth of ourselves is sealed in there.
Sounds like some of my sermons, and I did many of them until I retired, but this is some of my own truths that I described here in this post. It is not meant to be some poetic, or sage-like writings, but I can tell you that it frees me from wearing a mask and making out that I am something that I am not meant to be. So many lose ownership of their own selves, pretending to be what they are not, and we see that almost daily. A baby, or a toddler, has no fears, as they are innocents, but life is waiting for them to tarnish their minds with its fears, troubles, greed and popularity.
Just a bit of simple rambling from me today.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
