It’s a small shift, but a potentially profound one.
What if you choose to see what you’re in the middle of right now from the point of view of a year ahead? Or ten years? Or a hundred?
Or if you were to watch this moment in life from the viewpoint of the moon? Or from the far edge of the galaxy?
From here, what changes?
Do your worries and fears have the same hold?
Do the same things seem important?
From what are you freed?
What’s called for, now?
Sometimes, we need the perspective of a billion miles and an aeon in time to see what we’ve got caught up in that’s trivial. And that what really matters is quite different from what we’ve taken it to be.
Perspective, yes, but what is going on now with each of us may not be trivial. Perspective from increments of time may give us the understanding of how strong we are or were at certain moments in time.
Yes – I agree. The shift in perspective sometimes also shows us that what we’ve taken to be trivial in the moment, or to be pushed aside, is of incredible importance. Thanks for writing. Justin
