Waking up early to go on a beach walk with 12 of my girls, we walked out on the beach and saw that there was a break in the morning ocean mist. Through the break you could see the clear blue sky with scattered clouds. The sky was bright, clear and crisp. The clouds were white as snow, fluffy, and almost perfectly spaced out.We you remove the dirt, the grim, the mist, you can see how beautiful something, or someone really is. Most of the time in California you have to wait most of the morning to really see the sun and clear sky, you have to be patient, you wont know until it breaks.
About 4 years ago, I drove by a really bad car accident. I saw a white sheet on the ground, a lot of glass and it all taped off. I knew exactly what was underneath that sheet, we all do. They have to cover up the hurt, pain, dirtiness. In this situation, there is no goodness underneath the sheet, but sometimes when we wear masks and hide our hurt and our pain, we also hide the goodness, the beauty. Wearing mask sometimes makes us look, feel and act dirty, and underneath it is beautiful.
Just like when we remove the mist, we can really see the beauty behind it all. We can remove the real pain, the real hurt and see what is really beauty and clean inside, but it has to break or burn away for us to see even a little bit or the beauty.
What is your mist? What is hiding your beauty? What masks are you wearing?
