It's not about straight lines

It's not about straight lines

Walking along the hillside in warm sunshine and a balmy breeze, I reflected on the delightful unpredictability of weather in the valley.

This was miles from the dismal chill of last week when I thought the layers were here to stay.

In reality, straight lines are an illusion.

Pause. See differently. Re-story ??

So many illusions, straight lines being only one of many! What I could think of is the 'illusion of control' or the 'illusion that it's always about us'... Reality is different from what we believe (or want) it to be. Let's just be comfortable with not knowing what it will be... Great final thought of the day. Thank you for that, Sue.

So few things are straight in nature. Even the straightest tree eventually branches off in different directions. Wonderful reflection Sue Heatherington

    There’s a good reason for this. We need two ears to listen well.
