A Brighter Outlook By Stepping Out Part Two

Brighter days and encouragement succeeded from when I had stepped out from the gloom. I found beyond the door there was greater light to visualize nature and beauty than what I could have imagined. The swan count back then had come to seven that were gathered on the pond and then fluttered up their wings to show me just what I would of missed had I remained inside Opportunities do occur, seldom has there been a time that I stepped out without a token or memorable sight. I could not obtain that pleasure without being in a state of the art theater composed of Nature’s exquisite plays. The happening on stage under our big doom is like a play and it never runs out of an audience. The ambience was comfy and sounds were real to life as I sat in the front row to engulf myself with this opportunity to be out in the ‘other theater’ that is unlike any stage act. Within a brief moment time seems to have been removed and displaced by dramatic activity in every corner of our big screen. Our dome is part of this big screen and underneath it all are the creatures of the animal kingdom that create such exuberance. No tickets are sold to this gala event and no elegant style must be worn in order to enter the great outdoors. Of the natural environment that lies before us if we decide to step out. Since then I have seen a dozen mute swans going about their daily swim and grooming chores in a pond in the town of Miller Falls, Massachusetts. Perhaps if there were fifty swans it would not have been a delight as then it would of been a flock. According to the rightful name, a group of swans in flight are called a ‘wedge’ Seeing that many you miss many of their characteristics grouped so close together. Aren’t just twelve candles on a cake better to see than fifty? I am not speaking about the age factor. Fewer candles have more recognition and glamour than a cake full. Even though they did not flutter up their wings and wiz over me like the seven did last time they remained on stage and delivered the essence of the play, which did not obviously need a marquee. Perhaps you may not remember some plays you have been to by its title, but I am sure you will remember the wedge of swans that delighted you with their air show! I found for the money you pay to see a play, it would be much more to see the overhead swan wedge. Can’t see the show unless you go and step out where the outlook becomes brighter. Within those walls is silence Silence can impact the darkness The darkness mesmerizes the mind the mind needs to let in some light to unlock those chains that keeps us in. That will enable us to open the door. Inspiration will be found on the other side and maybe admiration will be brought back from the theater. Now you have an incentive token to step out again.
