The sea faithfully reflects the mood of the sky and yesterday the sea was…moody. At times almost black, and then an eerie green, the waters of Cowichan Bay turning a lovely turquoise when the winds calmed, the rains ceased, and the sun broke through the clouds as we found a tiny coral beach on which to have a small snack and a drink.
It’s easy to reflect the mood of those around us. And that’s not always helpful.
Empathy reminds us that darkened and discouraged minds and moods can always use a little blue sky, sunshine, and a warm and understanding embrace. It’s an easy gift to give…offered gently.
Some days I feel as moody as that dark water looks but thankfully I have lots blessings in my life that bring me many days of "turquoise water". Nice to see you back blogging!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your patience, Linda, I truly plan to get back to posting here...and not just the "other" place. ;) As for moods, we all have them...and sometimes depend on one another to escape them. Bless you.
DeleteThe contrast of an orange Cetus against first the dark water and then the white sand might be a good "mood tonic" Duncan!
