#91: Black and white doesn't exist.

I recently took this picture of the Christmas tornado wreckage and immediately knew that I needed to make it a black and white photo. Everything looks better in black and white...especially messes.

But this has made me think...nothing is really black and white, especially our messes. There is so much grey - so many shadows - so much mystery - so much guilt - so many emotions - so much intensity. Everything would probably look easier if it were truly black and white. We would know exactly what to do in every situation. We would never have to think...but my lesson has been that there is beauty in discovering the grey. It is painful (sometimes). It is joyous (sometimes). Most certainly, it is unique...embrace the grey.
