Look Up Mama

Have you ever driven to work, lost in your thoughts, and still arrive at your destination? These routes we’ve driven, over and over, can be done without technically being in our conscious thought. To the point where you’re so lost in thought, you meant to go to Target but you took the off-ramp heading to work.

And then there are moments when I’m shaken out of my thoughts to look above the horizon. That line where the trees touch the sky. Where brilliant greens meet calming blues. Or if it’s early, I can see the colors of the sunrise and wonder how something that happens every morning can look so beautiful, yet different day to day. 

Our minds are a great place of wonder, but sometimes we need to see the wonder outside ourselves to remember the wonder inside. If you feel stuck, lost, uncertain, look up Mama. Don’t let the countless clouds of your thoughts hinder the infinite hopes you can find in the expanse of the sky.
