Kaleidoscope #73

What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.
–Maya Angelou, Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Below is the original photo used to create this image. These orange flowers are part of the landscaping in front of my office building. Since they’re small, I had to get in super close. No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
