The Colors Of Life
I wondered yesterday as I was driving back from work on the Interstate 195 highway how many of the drivers speeding by noticed the gorgeous trees with their myriad colors? I wondered how many noticed the uniqueness of their short-lived beauty?
It seemed like everybody was rushing somewhere, hurrying to reach a destination, oblivious to the remarkable paintings on the sides of the roads. And I wondered how we all go on with our hectic, fast-paced and intense lives without noticing the simple beauties and pleasures of nature. The foliage, in its vastness, is a modest reminder of what happiness can be in our life; natural, free and embracing. We search for it for years. We spend eternities dreaming about it, and we find it and,
if we find it, in the simplest things of our universe, in the little places we never looked before, we walk away, unstirred. Just like these wonderful trees. They are there, standing tall in the middle of our world, reminding us of the beauty of life in all its colors.
But we do speed by, we don't slow down and we forget that the trees will soon lose their colors, leaving our journey bare and hollow. The colors of the trees are like the colors of life flamboyant, glowing, abundant and rich. Make sure you grab the ones that embellish your busy existence with little smiles, genuine laughter and unexpected joy.
