The Silver Lining

No one really gets to see the "silver lining" in the clouds. We can only look up and see a gray sheen on the bottom of some cumulonimbus.

















It's not quite silver, but it's the stuff dreams are made of. I took that picture at around 35,000 feet altitude while leaning over the guy who had the window seat. He was asleep, luckily.

You don't have to be in the jet stream to see the silver lining though. Got deferred from your "dream" school? Welcome that blank canvas of other opportunities. Failed your driving test? You'll have a funny story to tell. Ran out of boxers? You'll have an even funnier story to tell. So hopefully you all get what I mean.

So if you ever feel neglected
And if you think that all is lost
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah
Hoping everything's not lost
