Perhaps this title captured your attention? Well, thinking about January and the shades of grey, has captured mine! The skies are often grey here in BC in January- some see grey has sort of a ‘blah’ colour and admittedly it can be dreary over time but I also have been finding much beauty in grey. I enjoy the calming effect of grey and I appreciate its stillness and continuity.

I have also been spending time in deep, rich conversations with my adult son and he always opens my eyes to the shades of grey that exist in our lives. I love how he sees everything on a continuum, always seeing multiple perspectives and so many ways of living our lives as humans on earth.

Now more than ever, we must see shades of grey and sit with them, dance with them and embrace them as much as we can. As we hold them with us, we may share more care, humility and humanity with those around us and that seems like a very good thing right now!

Enjoy these photos, many with a grey backdrop and beautiful happy children.

With gratitude,

Emily
