The ocean can look very different, depending on whether you are standing at the shore, soaring above in a plane, or swimming beneath its waves Likewise, a mountain can look very different relative to where you are standing. ]Each living thing sees the world from its unique vantage point. 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.

Seeing the world from another perspective, whether spatially or mentally, can introduce you to all sorts of hidden treasures. 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]

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

Annie, I am off of message board and other internet communications for a little while.  My brain feels tired.  I need to look out upon this wolrd for a while with my old eye. 
Love,
Betty

From facebook: "I was depressed, and I knew I'd feel better if I read those words ... Mr Planemaker's Flying Machine."

Amazing.

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.
