Look To the Sky
When searching for a philosophy on how to live…how to act and why…my search ends quite abruptly…when I look up at the sky.
The sky understands how life is always moving…how it constantly rearranges…how we must enjoy each moment…before that moment changes.
The sky is open to everyone…she has no boundaries no borderlines at all.
She accepts all entities that float in…she has no need for walls.
The sky embraces her myriad of colors…every color is a friend…
she knows her beauty is created by the way her different colors blend.
The sky rejoices at the differences in her clouds…she would never think to cause one shame…for no matter their size or shape or where they come from…she treats every cloud the same.
The sky understands there will be pain and suffering and heartache…
that lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes will amass…
but she also knows the fiercest storms will eventually come to pass.
The sky knows even in the darkest times…in the ebony of night
The moon, the planets and the stars still offer up their light.
Which is why when searching for a philosophy on how to live…
how to act and why…
I could look to the philosophers…
to books…
to religions…
but I prefer…to look up to the sky.
