One of my pastors created a Facebook page called Contemplative Photography, a place for its page members to post their own photos. I learned about it almost a year ago and immediately joined the group. I am not a professional photographer nor is that a requirement for the group. The point of the group is to “receive” photos, a visual way to pay attention to God in your daily life and share it with others.
Last week at breakfast, Cody said, “Oh, look! Half the sky is gray and half is sunny.” If you had drawn a line down the middle of the window, one half would have been completely overcast with dark gray, misty cloud cover and the other half shining with bright blue sky and a few wispy white clouds. I quickly grabbed my phone and went on the deck to photograph it. I posted it to the Contemplative Photography page with this thought:
“Like life, some days we get sunny, blue skies; some days we get dark gray, cloudy skies. And some days we get a combination of the two. Maybe most days it’s a combination of the two.“
And I have thought about that combination – of blue skies and gray clouds – several times since then. I contemplated how glorious those brilliant blue, cloudless-sky days are. We had one just the other day, with almost unbelievable deep blues.
