Perspective

we've all heard it said that perspective can make the same thing look entirely not the same. it's not hard to test that. from politics to pics, where you stand can make apples look like apples and oranges...or apples and penguins.

take this fence, for example. ordinary chain link fence, to be sure, but if i'd not taken this photo, i'm not sure i'd know what it was. even knowing, it's hard to look at it and sort of mentally swing myself 90 degrees counter-clockwise to see the chain link fence we all know and love.

i enjoy finding different perspectives, in pretty much anything. if i ever think that i've landed on the sole reality of a situation, it's a sure sign i'm leaving some point of view out of the picture. reality is not 2D. it's 3D and made up of millions of points from which to see it. it's a good part of why i remind myself often that part of what God requires of me is to walk humbly. no matter how much i try, or how much i think myself succeeded, only He sees the millions of points.
