~:[CH7 - Day 8]:~ Giving Pause
California doesn't often get a "storm." Our storms are good days for most parts of the world, but as spoiled as we are, we take shelter and hide from a droplet that falls from the sky. As while we associate storms with the bad, they are opportunities for us all to give pause. As while the challenges faced with the storm are annoying, the storms also provide moments of beauty such as the reflections that fall to the ground and the ripples that form when the water strikes the surface. There is the beautiful pitter-patter sounds and of course, the glorious rainbows that follow. While it's easy for us to hide away from these storms, we must not be afraid and know that we can withstand them and secondly, that there are opportunities if we simply stop and take a look around. As while it's only natural for us to scurry to shelter, take a look around and see that there is always more than meets the eye and those who understand that, can find light in even the darkest of situations in life. Some people see so much wrong with the world around them, but until you open your eyes and look around you, you'll always be lost in the dark.
