it's the stuff behind that really matters

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

As I was walking,

I noticed a plain old ordinary door from across the way,

As I got closer,

I could tell the door was plain,

brown,

and

had a Gothic type window on the front...

just ordinary I assumed.

I went to walk on by it,

but

something glistening caught my eye

and

I turned

and

walked up to the door,

peered into the depths of darkness

and

much to

my

surprise,

rays of light

colored with orange and yellow and greens

greeted me

as if the sun was laughing and saying,

"look what I can do".

I stood there watching the glistening

and

found myself

at

peace and

thankful

that the glimmer of light

caught me.

I wonder now,

how often

I pass by someone,

who I consider

"just plain"

or

"ordinary"

or

"normal"

and

Miss the beauty on the inside....

perhaps today...

I'll take my time

and

peer deeper into the hidden heart spaces

where

others beauty lies.

Happy Tuesday...

and

Hugs
