A recent trip was impacted by Hurricane Milton... positively impacted in that our trip was extended! The most difficult part was rescheduling flights... with very few options available. We made all of the revised flight times and tight connections... accompanied with the stress and worry in these types of situations.
Sitting back and relaxing on the final segment home, I was reminded of other flights where the clouds parted and I could see the mountains below.
I wondered: Are there things we do not see clearly when we are in difficult situations?

Similar thoughts came to mind when I returned home from a weekend of reunions and memories. Dropping through the coastal clouds near home, I found myself straining to see familiar sights below.
I reflected on the differences between living through trying times and remembering the same events years later... looking for What is Known and learning from What is Being Revealed.
I wonder: Do our memories soften or harden over time as we gain perspective?

The same might be said of our day-to-day interactions with family and friends:
- We focus on what we know and don't see the Unknown.
- We react to the routine rather than respond to the Extraordinary.
- We stay hidden instead of bringing to light our Inner Being.
I wonder: Do we have the capacity to seek what is hidden and celebrate what has been revealed?

Harsh words may need to be forgiven. Perceived slights might be questioned. Misunderstandings could be discussed.
What other ways would you suggest to Reveal the Hidden?
