Thought for the Day – August 23, 2022

Does this photograph give you a feeling of solitude or of isolation? Does it take you to a place of peace and tranquility, a place for perspective and reflection? Or does it instead take you to a place of fear and loneliness, a place of worry and anxiety? Would it make a difference if the sky were a different color, perhaps at a different time of day?

In your plans for today, how can you be aware of the impact that your surroundings have on you? Will changing something about your location make a change in you this day?
