Heroes Not Zombies

I stopped to take this photo partly because the drama of the dark rain cloud half filling the sky caught my eye, but also because I instantly thought about the yin yang symbol – half dark, half light, capturing the essence of constant change.

But when I look at it now what springs to mind is the old question about a glass of water – is it half full, or half empty? And what does that say about the way you see the world?

So, what do you see here? A brightening sky of spreading blue? Or a darkening sky of spreading grey?

Whichever it is, of course, this too shall pass – the blue will be covered with rain clouds again, and the rain clouds will pass on by to reveal the blue.

But I do wonder, how our world view influences our view of the world…..and how that affects not just what we notice, but how we interpret what we notice?
