When thinking about how to let you all know that our new "Rainbow Land" Cherry Soda is starting to hit stores in Wisconsin, it struck us again how amazingly beautiful this can art is, how it was inspired by very ugly events in our hometown of Minocqua, and how we connected with an artist named Season to turn that ugliness around into pure joy.
Humans, while so extremely flawed, have an amazing capacity for hope, resilience, and optimism--even in the face of constant struggle.
How beautiful and necessary those universal human qualities are.
We were recently introduced to the song "Beauty" by a fantastic singing group called "Kings Return," and the lyrics to this song fit perfectly into the theme of remembering and focusing on all the beautiful things, IN SPITE OF all the bad things.
Here's the link to the song, and the lyrics. Take a moment to pause this morning, listen, and read. We promise it will brighten your day.
There's still beauty in the world
There's still beauty in the world
After all I've seen
There's still beauty
I'm not ignoring the darker days
Greener grass won't always follow the rain
But love is like a waterfall
Someone leads and down we go
It's not hopeless
When I notice
All the beauty in the world
There's still beauty in the world
After all I've seen
There's still beauty
All around
When we stop and slow it down
There will always be
So much beauty
The heaviness can weigh on you
It feels like it might stay on you
Just like any storm, it always passes
No, I don't wear rose-colored glasses
But it's my eyes wide open
To the beauty
Beauty
