There are some times on the THPL journey when we have the unique opportunity to see the landscape from a distance, it could the view from a ride on a train, on a plane, from an observation deck. From each of these vantage points we see the surroundings in a different way. The “bigger” picture comes into view and we did not have to do much to see it. Really all we did was to take a step back, putting a bit of distance between us and what we are observing, what we are looking at. And so it is, the same way that we can think about our lives and experiences. Maybe to get a better view, or sense, of what we are facing we just need to take a step back, to get a little further from what we are looking at. It could be time away, a turn of the head, or even a physical step back. The point is that we can give ourselves a much better perspective of what is going on around us if we just put a bit of distance between us and what we are focused on. As always, just a simple movement can create a profound change, and this is what we all can do to make THPL just that much better. Take a step back indeed…..
