I am still amazed every day at the
beauty in this Universe, on this planet and the fact that I am aware of it and
that there are others who are also. I explore this thought, it seems a lot, in
wonderment and why I am so awestruck by this incredible beauty! But then I am
awestruck by any beauty and so are a lot of people—seems to be a trait inborn
in humans? At any point, it is soul food that I eat with my senses—my eyes, my
ears, m tongue, my fingertips and hands. It is, to me, as important as food
that feeds my physicality. Then there is the difference between what I see as
beauty and what others see, but then perhaps it is like everyone stands in a
different spot on this Earth and so sees life from another angle or
perspective. And if we were to put all the angles and perspectives together,
would it form a bigger picture? Can I, with my angles and perspectives,
actually expand them in order to encompass all the different outlooks, or
inlooks? At any point, I can only say what I see from my position, n’est pas?
However, if I move to a different spot to stand in, I will see another degree
of the 360 degrees there supposedly are in this world. This is what
understanding—complete and true understanding is, human understanding of
another’s perspective or angle or degree. The view or scenery they see from where
they stand or sit or lie. Not necessarily agreeing with the conclusion drawn
from what is seen or understood by the other, but understanding where they are
comjng from--261 degrees? We all cannot physically, in our physical senses,
stand in exactly the same spot as another, but we can understand simply that
they are in a different spot or degree of latitude and longitude. In fact with
that said, there must be 6 billion degrees of difference, rather than the paltry
360 degrees “they” say there are! However, in my efforts to bring about world
peace, harmony and love, I must remember to stand in understanding with where
another is standing and work on seeing what they see and why they have a
different understanding than I. The acceptance comes from standing under what
they see, knowing I can comingle all my perspectives with those of others and
perhaps we can all at once, stand in awe and understanding and truly see the
bigger picture together.
