We have wind chimes hanging at several spots around my house. Each one has different tonal qualities and was selected with great care. Yet it’s been crazy windy here lately, and their sounds have been loud and pronounced. It’s impossible not to hear them.
It occurred to me that it isn’t until the wind reaches a level of furious that I notice them. The delicately subtle notes for which we picked them have been replaced by ear-splitting decibels. I realize that I have taken their beauty for granted.
Life is like that too. We forget what’s important until something dramatic occurs to remind us.
Reminders are good.
Are you finding the beauty in your life?
