A Moment of Reflection
" A man would do well to carry a pencil in his pocket and write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable and should be secured, because they seldom return."
Francis Bacon
1561-1626
And so it was this past Saturday getting out of my car and looking to the heavens. I was stunned as I have never see such colors, except in a rainbow. And I wasn't the only one as I pointed and people were stopping and staring. What would explain this? As I reflected upon it, I realized it doesn't need to be explained, simply appreciate it for the beautiful thing that it is.
As I pondered my thoughts further, I began to have this epiphany that everything doesn't need an answer. At that very second, I thought back to my Mom and me always asking her, "why". Her standard answer was Because. I would then ask " Because why " and her final answer was,"Just Because". I didn't ever accept that answer, perhaps that might have been my greatest errors. There are some things in life that don't need answers, just a greater appreciation for the magic of the universe.
