The View

Step up. Grab the glossy metal frame in your hands. Draw your face in close and take a look.

How's the view from where you're standing?

Is it a grand vista, awash in color and life and creation? Does it take your breath away and inspire you? Perhaps the landscape is veiled in fog and muted tones of grey that smudge lines, only to hint at what lies underneath? Or do you look out to see heavy, dark storm clouds? A cold, hard panorama that causes you to shudder and withdraw?

How is the view from where you are standing...but more importantly, what is your point of view? Because I would suggest that the way you look at things carries far more weight than the tangible things alone. With the right point of view, every scene has value and the opportunity for beauty. You need only to look intentionally; to open your heart and mind.

Now, take another look and tell me...how's the view from where you're standing?
