How deceiving appearances can be! We can accurately judge very little from appearances unless we have many perspectives, and even then we may see only a small portion of the big picture.
From the sun-filled valley below the foothills to the San Gabriel Mountains, the soft, white cloud is just an adornment on the mountain-scape.
But here inside the cloud the whole of the environment is dark, foggy, quiet and cool. It is a different world inside than it appears to be from outside.
So it is with all things and all people. We see only the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Who knows what lies hidden between the covers of the book, or in the lining of the cloud.
