The blue dot

last week i was given a beautiful composition make entirely of torn paper. it is an orange and raspberry sherbet-colored sun as it starts to hide behind a mountain of black, white, and brown. at first, the zebra-striped mountains caught my eye.  and the use of bright, warm colors was very pleasing.  but i sensed that those were not the reasons the picture was so attractive.
 
looking at it again today (for the 5.1 millionth time) a little speck of blue appeared for the first time.  the word 'whisper' immediately came to mind.  the cool-toned blue dot is a whisper among the energetic, vibrancy of the composition.  it is there to enjoy when the eye is ready to see it.
 
during these months/weeks of transitions, i have listened for whispers in the midst of chaos. i have looked for moments of calm, peace, and contentment in all the physical and emotional 'noise'. 
 
this composition reminds me that the cool whisper is always present.  always.
