There's a part of me that hates this picture. The composition just isn't great - the focal point is lacking.
Yet, today I can't help but look at this picture and see a metaphor for my life right now. It feels like things have been tough lately, dry and dying, not that exciting or colorful. BUT...yes, but...but if you focus on the horizon there is some green, some blue, not only color but life. Good things are up ahead, they're within sight. I can feel this in my life right now. The struggle has been real, the frustrations, the seemingly never ending issues that arise, the worry and fear that leave me restless at night. It's all there, but I can feel God's hand at work, moving in my life, providing for me, calling to me, asking me to have a bigger faith and trust in Who He is...to keep moving forward.
Man. It's scary, but what choice do I have and why fight something that I know will bring good into my life and potentially healing and much needed rest? God provides. I'm trying to follow. This is one of the reasons I love photography - like any art form it can produce emotions, feelings, give metaphor, insight and simple beauty. Even though I could pick the photo apart, I'm choosing instead to feel inspired by its composition and out of focus bits. Resting in Him.
