Seeing The Stars Through The Clouds

How many of us slow down enough so that we enjoy the present? We are so used to critiquing what we are doing that we miss the point, which is to be in the moment. We have become self-indulgent that it's not about what the group thinks but what our personal opinion is. Our comfort has become the most important thing that matters. But if that has become the status quo then we are experiencing our journey with no one but ourselves. It's not enjoyable being with people who talk only about their viewpoints and unwilling to listen to others. If we were to take a step backwards and realize that it takes more than one person to have a relationship, we may then move forward on our path that has become so lonely. Sometimes it's being alone that opens our eyes to what we are missing. When we take a step at a time in life, we are often privileged to see the stars through the clouds.



Where are the stars during the day...

 

(This evening I saw the stars through the clouds. My family and I watched a movie on the beach at Wailea, which was part of the Maui Film Festival. Although it was supposed to be a clear night, there were still clouds covering part of the sky. But as the evening went by, the stars popped out. Time stands still when you're with the people you love and enjoying what you're doing.)
