Tiny Tome No. 3

Perspective permits and perspective prevents

Whether we confront an obstacle or an opportunity often depends on where we stand, the ground beneath our gaze. Perspective is a silent, living, sculptor softening the hard edges of definition and limitation. A shift in angle, a pause, a question, or a bit of empathy is sometimes all it takes to find meaning where before there was only frustration.

How we see an experience, a person, or even ourselves determines what we take from it. When we adjust our perspective, we don’t just see differently; we become different, more open to growth, understanding, and transformation. We traverse between certainty and contemplation, inviting humility, even when it unsettles us. The waltz of openness backstopping collective progress.
