This morning a friend posted the most beautiful picture of the super moon on Facebook. It was taken in Greece at the Temple of Poseidon. Though I appreciated the beauty and majesty of the super moon in the photo, it was her comment that got my attention. She said:
“Didn’t get to see the super moon myself last night, but this view in Greece at the Temple of Poseidon is rather nice.”
How many times does a view of something through someone else’s eyes bring us joy, pleasure, and, even clarity? Many times we walk in the dark, confused, bumping into walls, hands out, feeling our way. We can’t see what is right in front of us. Then someone else comes along and shares their view and perspective. All of a sudden the darkness clears and you realize you possessed the power to see all along. The eyes of someone else opened the window to your world.
Just as my friend experienced the super moon through someone else’s eyes, sometimes, we too, must stop struggling so on our own and let another show us the way.
And so, as another day goes by, the finish line is not given, it is earned, and…I have written.
Thanks, Nina, for sharing and inspiring…
