While from your window you may be seeing what looks like a huge shrub, a bird in its nest is getting an intimate view of that tree’s leafy interior. Meanwhile, a beetle sees only a massive and never-ending tree trunk. Yet all three of you are looking at the same tree.

The root of the discovery process often lies in finding another way of looking at the world. --------------------------------------------------------- Just as kneeling down sometimes helps you see more closely when you are looking for lost treasure, so can standing back help you appreciate the broader picture of what you are looking at. In doing so, you’ll experience very different worlds. from today's Daily Om: Nurturing Mind, Body, and Spirit[/font][/color] http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2013/39497.html Hope some of you will read the whole article. It presents a solid "argument" for seeing things from broader perspectives, and so, preventing so many of the arguments we've been seeing here lately |

| Good idea. Sometimes it is easier said than done. I need to practice this. It will take some doing, but anything worthwhile does. Thank you, Ann. |
