Last night, I stood for a while watching the setting sun's reflection down the valley.
From here, halfway up the hill, I can see a lot of sky. And, if I am patient in my watching, the weather fronts are clear.
VIEWPOINT
It matters
where we stand,
the direction
we face. It shapes
our attention, and
colours our language.
Otherwise, we
assume we see it all.
Pause, see differently, ?

I am sensing the challenge to be more intentional about where I stand.

Beautiful - as usual - sister. And I'm taking direct quote from a complexity and sense-making course I'm in when I say "It’s not about ‘solving’ or ‘fixing’, but about reorienting and responding"... ...and of course when I've "finished" reorienting and responding, guess what I get to do next? Something an awfully lot like reorienting and responding, ad infinitum. Or...? Pause, see differently, re-story, repeat. So much love.
