The hills on the opposite side of the river covered with leaves, ranging in color from red to yellow wipe out the dullness of this rainy day. It reminds me of this “many people cannot see the forest for the trees.” They are so absorbed in little aspects of their lives that they cannot enjoy larger elements. I lift my eyes above the sordid man made landscape to see the beauty in natural ones. Nature often ruthless cannot be copied. ”Mankind still evolving, an ever changing process”
Life goes on here apparently unchanging.
All life is shade and sunshine. Many people mistakenly think that youth is a glorious time, all sunshine. Furthermore the older we get the more we glamorize the far distant past, blotting out all but the happy incidents. Life is checkered; enjoy the sunshine.
