Nobility Captured

There are often times in life where our personal nobility is captured through the altering circumstances that encompass our lifestyles. I was with a client last week and was flipping through a photography book, while he was in an appointment. This quote perplexed me in such a different way. It was the snapshot of life that flashed before me in that moment.

The noble world that we live in is captured daily in the simplest forms. The waters flow, spring, spin, and even trickle by in our lives. It is how we stay a float that captures our nobility in times of crisis. During these snapshots we are at times lonely and feel as if we can't go on. The rushing tide comes along and pulls us into the riptide. Nobility captures the soul within the rushing tide and allows the lonely waters to embrace a new dimension of flowing.

The secret keeping stones are there silently awaiting the tides arrival, and knowing that life's trials aren't worth worrying about. The secret keepers are found in the trees, flowers, birds...etc. The nature that embodies us everyday. The nobility of life can be captured through seeing the beauty of nature. The snapshot of beauty is exemplified in the silences of the secrets. The sliding shutter opens to allow the beauty shine and capture the snapshot of life.

Along the path there are snapshots that are hard to not only capture; but to aspire to take. Nobility captures the spirit and allows the flowing sky to shine. It is the silver lining that is highly anticipated in any life. The snapshot that exclaims nobility captured my soul.


But look how noble the world is,
The lonely-flowing waters,
The secret-keeping stones,
The flowing sky.
