Life's Perspective


This is the view from my sister's flat in Yorkshire, England. (It's also now my "happy place" - a view I can conjure up in my mind when the pressures of life start to overwhelm!) I didn't even notice the pole as I was taking the picture. My focus was on the beauty of the cliff, the play of light and the incredible colors of the rock strata. I suppose this image is a little like life. There's often a pole right in the center which can mar the view! The lesson is to focus on the beauty and ignore the flaw that I have no control over. It's not always easy but it is always possible. So what do you see? The cliff bathed in afternoon sunlight or the lightpole?
