As I sit on the balcony and look at the natural light that is surrounding me I think about how neglected and unappreciated it is. By this I mean that besides the sunrises and and sunsets we take for granted the beauty of natural light.
Although the rain and the cloudy skies effect my energy level, there is something quite peaceful about them. This sunlight struggles to push its way through the clouds and every now and then there is an opening where the beautiful golden light floods through. The rays of light create strips of harsh and soft light as if a hard light was placed directly next to a defused light. As the sun is once again covered by the clouds my eyes begin to get bored with the light coming from the sky.
My eyes bounce around from place to place until a large puddle catches my attention. The puddle sits still on the side of the road. The same white light that was peeping in through the windows onto the babies faces is now engulfing the surface of the puddle. The water is acting like a mirror and reflects the light off of the top of it. As the rain begins to spit once again the sprinkles allow the puddle to dance about making the reflections of the light wiggle around on the puddle. The rain creates what would normally be another unappreciated beauty, however, this time is does not go unappreciated or unnoticed.
I sit an admire the puddle but the smell of a dirty diaper from one of the twins that I take care of brings me back to reality.
