A Foggy Day

.
Today is a foggy day. I like the fog ~ that is, when I am not in a rush to get somewhere; as it does make traffic more hazardous. But when I don’t need to go places, I can truly enjoy it...

The fog puts a veil over the world. It brings home the fact that we cannot see everything that is going on with us or around us with crystal clarity all the time. There are ‘foggy days’, and these are those times that perhaps we are best off sitting back, taking a deep breath, waiting for the fog to lift ~ waiting for that time that we can see further and more clearly again...

To me, the foggy days are magical.

The fog hides those things we are not supposed to see right now, making our world smaller, giving us the opportunity to focus on the things we can see ~ things that are closer to us; things that we may have taken for granted... And while it is doing that, it gently cleanses all that is there ~ the things that are so close to us we can see them, as well as the things further away that we cannot see... The fog gathers on the branches of the trees, the blades of grass ~ but also on the houses, the cars, the fences around the park across the street; and as the drops of water fall to the earth, they take with them all that is no longer needed ~ all dust, all dirt, all that was weighing us down.

And just as the actual fog cleanses the physical world ~ the energy of the fog cleanses inner world, our energy...
It allows us to turn inward, where it veils the things we may have lingered on for too long, and the things that may worry us even though they may still be in our (perceived) future. It allows us to step back from these things ~ and as we get less caught up in them, we may even decide to release them...

And then, as the fog lifts, the whole world is new!
The air is clean, the colors are different, everything seems brighter than it was before!

Not only in the physical world we live in can we see more clearly and enjoy the fact that we can easily see for miles around us. This is also true for our inner selves. With our energy cleansed and our focus back on our priorities ~ not only do we feel lighter, we can also see the path we are walking; our unique, personal path with much greater clarity...

Yes, a foggy day is definitely magical!
