It has been a laid back Saturday.......we decided to go out for lunch today, after we parked in the parking lot, I walked over to fountain where some kids were playing. I realized that for the first time in several days the sun was shinning and I looked up at the sky. Much to my surprise I saw the flag flying against those clouds, I was taken aback. The flag was so big, I don't know how I missed seeing it as I got out of the car, but when I looked up........what a sight to behold.
Life is often like that.......we're so focused on one thing ( I was seeing the kids/fountain) that we miss the big picture. Looking up gave me a view of an exquisite sky and Old Glory waving proudly.......so by changing my view for a split second........I saw something totally different. It pays to be perceptive of our surroundings, to see from a different angle.......sometimes we just need to look up.

An epiphany. It is truly amazing at all the things we miss each day.
ReplyDeleteA great metaphor for taking time to see what is in front of our eyes by just looking and being in the moment.
