Shades of Gray

/

It blows my mind to think about change. And, change is life. I see it all around. Or maybe I should say I only see the obvious. If we put a microscope on everything in nature… and that is everything, you would see constant movement - trees, plants, animals, us.

We don’t see the foot in a year that children grow. We don’t even see the grass grow, but we have to cut it twice a week in June. My Black walnuts grew a foot last year, but I didn’t see it happen.

We know there are seasons. They say four - winter, spring, summer and fall. We can tell when they are here, but we don’t see the daily transformation. Maybe there are 365 seasons a year. Or, for that matter, an infinite amount of transformations.

Change is life - something to embrace. Living is embracing change. The fact that everything is moving - transforming - all the time - is wild, particularly when the human tendency is to keep things the same. Get into our routines. Maybe it’s time for me to question all my routines - embrace new people, new things. I will get into new routines, but be careful Mike, things will change.

I reflect on change when I look at Shades of Gray - the image below. What season is this? Why do I like Black and White in this season? I guess, because the light takes well to my camera, which can capture so many shades of gray. I love it.
