My perspective

Seeing the forest AND the trees

My perspective is ever changing and always evolving. Life does that to me.

Perspective makes all the difference, both from the standpoint of art, but also in life.

Mentally standing back and viewing myself from outside my head, is something I am learning to do more often. Whenever I’m bowled over by a situation, I try to find a perspective that gives me a little space. It’s not as easy as it sounds.

I know that the passage of time softens, even changes emotions. I know that if I can pause. Set the proveial glass down and let everything settle, any strong feelings will settle (until something stirs them up again).

I am learning to use perspective and passing time to my advantage. Lots of strong energies are swirling, I am just like everyone else, navigating as best I can.

Am I missing the forest, because of all the trees? I’ve never fully understood this metaphor. Either we are IN the forest or we are standing back looking at it. Either way we are experiencing forest. It’s up to each of us what perspective we want to view things from. Unless we don’t see choices. Artists always see too many choices.
