Changing your Reality
As soon as it started to look familiar everything changed. At first far off storm clouds began to threaten the serene blue sky. Water sprinkled lightly on the road during the later hours of daylight.
The sun set as we drove through the coastal redwoods of northern California. Rain poured seemingly intermittent from the canopy of the giant evergreens.
I watched as the temperature dropped and remarked: "a couple more degrees and this type of rain would turn to snow."
Within seconds the familiar sound of rain drops ceased. Large clumps of white on the road. Snow. Snow along the windy road by the oceans cliff. Perilous death seems just a foot away as the narrow road curves sharply in any direction. The trees lit up with white and the car sloshed through the ice and cold. A spectacular view teased my eyes like a Sirens call that I imagine might lead me to crash onto the rocky shoreline. It was amazing!
I suspect we shape our lives and world to fit our beliefs and our perceptions of reality. Apparently a snowy windy road by the ocean surrounded by redwoods is my reality. :)
