Looking At Things From A Different Perspective 

I am always on the lookout for some new perspective to share. I have learned especially from my lovely and loving wife to appreciate the little things in life. Linda Lee has been taking pictures all her life, with and without a camera, and she certainly has an eye for seeing beautiful where many overlook it.

When I saw today’s picture on social media, it took me a moment to read the message. I only had to view it according to the instructions, “Read this from your charger hole” to see quite clearly the words intended. It reminds me of the pictures that were popular some thirty years ago where if you looked at them from the right angle a figure stood out in 3D that would have been missed otherwise. 

How often life imitates art and the other way around when we change our point of view or perspective ever so slightly. In the right light or from the right angle, dew on the grass can sparkle like diamonds as can the sunlight bouncing off the rippling water of a pond, lake, stream, or ocean.

My wife has taught me to see diamonds in a tea cup full of soap bubbles.

We miss so much of the beauty, the mystery of life, by refusing to stop and consider things from a different perspective. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” may sound like good advice and yet even the best things can often be improved upon or at least be seen in a new light from a different point of view. And by the way opening a widow and seeing things in a new light can open our eyes to new beauties. In the same way, a little fresh air or the application of deodorant can open our noses to sweeter and less stale and stinky smells.
