Monday, May 14: Seeing a New Path

Inspiration:

 

I do not need to see the Promised Land in order to set off down the path.

Seeing a New Path

Say you are walking down a path through the woods, admiring the trees and bushes around you. Suddenly, the path takes a sharp turn. All of a sudden, your point of view changes. You see things from a new angle. It turns out that what you thought was a really big tree is actually two trees growing close together, and the fallen log now shows itself as a tangled mass of exposed roots. The things you have already seen are changed by looking at them in a new way. …

What if you shifted your point of view to try to see what was going on in your friend’s heart and mind when they hurt you? What if you learned to forgive yourself by seeing that mistake you made (the one that just makes your skin crawl) from the perspective of your dog, who loves you absolutely, no matter what? What if you looked at a tough situation from the perspective of ten years down the road, and asked yourself what you want the relationship to be like in 2021?
