Weathered Building
The siding and roof on this small building are faded and weeds are growing around the foundation. There seems to be nothing special about it, and at first glance it appears abandoned. It's the geraniums in the sparkling, clean window that tell a different story. The building is not abandoned, in fact it houses some beautiful flowers.
I thought of how people can be like that building - easily dismissed because of first impressions. I reflected on this and applied it to my life: how often do I miss opportunities to encounter beauty because I don't take the time to really see what is before me?
Faded,
weathered,
unkempt;
hardly worth a
second glance.
Color
unexpected;
startles,
beckons,
invites.
How many
invitations
have I refused
without even
knowing?
