When Life Has It's Problems

I was driving home from work and since I live west, I face the sun the entire way. It's not the best sunset I've ever seen, but I thought it was worthy of having it's picture taken. I went back to my place on top of Fort Worth. I had absolutely no desire to take any pictures, just snap the sun and go home. But of course, I ended up taking a few more. I tried to stay away from my normal "up close at odd angles" and try some straight shots and landscapes. When I got home and uploaded the pictures, I realized that unbenounced to me, my subconscious had formed my thoughts onto film:

Life is calm.

There are no concerns, no thoughts of doubt, no disorder at all.

Perfection.

Suddenly, the way becomes uneven.

Decisions have to be made.

Which way is right?

How will I know?

Because of uncertainty, a crack begins to form.

You can see the other side looks so bleak.

So desolate.

So painful.

It worsens.

The deep crevice is trying to divide that which was once inseparable.

But as soon as the gap is wide enough and all hope seems lost...a peice of color springs forward.

Though the crack seemed horrible, it let hidden beauty grow through.

Because of something so ugly and degrading, new life thrives.

But what was once perfect, now has a small flaw.

It doesn't ruin the picture.

It makes it even more amazing.

Stronger.

And in the end, something magnificent is received...

Peace.
