Knowing it's there

I know some very dear people who have some very dark clouds in their lives right now.

For some, it's been stormy all day. For others, a perfectly blue-sky day turned into a dark, dismal storm without much warning.

I took this picture just a few weeks ago just a mile or so from my home.

It tells me that even when there are dark clouds -- really dark, threatening, dismal clouds -- there is sunshine just behind them.

And whether that sunshine comes out now or tomorrow. Whether the sunshine comes to you or you go to it, whether you have to wait or whether you are surprised when the sky suddenly opens up, it will bring you warmth. And beauty. And peace.

Just know it's there.
