My son flew out of town this morning.

His flight took him over the area at sunrise – it’s a glorious spring day, and he had the best view possible.

I’m dealing with a lot of heavy stuff right now. Most of it is out of my control, and I am learning the lessons I need to learn about self control and trust as I walk through this.

Having the right perspective always is helpful. When I got the snap my son took from the airplane window, I got my perspective for the day.

There’s a lot of nonsense going on down here, but above me…peace. Calm. Omniscience.

It’s the same feeling I get when I lie on the ground and look at the stars at night. Little tiny speck of a thing me suddenly doesn’t have big giant problems.

It feels horrible when the problems of life start piling up. When hurting people hurt me. When answers aren’t easily found.

Today was a reminder that I may never find the answer to what is plaguing me.

I can back up, look up, and get perspective.

You know what? It’s another beautiful day.
