Below the surface

There are many ways to look at the world and people.  When we see it at eye level we sometimes miss what is below the surface.  

I have driven over this bridge many times but never saw the beauty of what is below.  The patterns of the bridge are beautiful and the ice glitters as it hangs off the span.  The snow hugs the trees, limbs, and bushes.  Across the way time is reflected on the walls of the gorge.

How often do we look below the surface to see those around us?  How do we move from focusing on the problem rather the person?   

As you move about this beautiful world today and you come across someone that "pushes that button" ... focus on them as a person ... see the beauty that lies within and underneath.
