And I think to myself: what a wonderful world.
~ Louis Armstrong
This is such a wonderful world, though, so often we allow negativity to hijack our perspective. This causes me to think on the words of Confucius: “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it”. No matter how bad things seem to be, there is always something beautiful that we can see or find if we strive to see it. I think of the alpine wildflowers that grow in the harshest of climates, to bloom for a few weeks, and then to sleep again beneath the craggy rocks, ice and scree. This is truly an example and metaphor for the beauty which abounds.
