What is this a photo of?  On this first day of winter, I wanted to share the gift of perspective. By shifting your vantage point, looking through another's eyes, or changing your story, your life will change dramatically...even though nothing external to you has changed. This is what it means to step into your divine self, for you are creating everything.

What happens when we slow our lives down enough to partake in the beauty at the micro level? These trumpet lichen are the size of a few grains of rice, yet their amazing, flared tops are not for capturing moisture, but for anchoring the power of the raindrops to disperse its spores. When was the last time you slowed down enough to experience only a few square yards on a hike...probably when you were a child? What's stopping you now? How are you leveraging your abilities to catapult those metaphorical raindrops?

There are times when multiple phases interact on the same plane. The connection is dramatic and can move us towards understanding our own dynamic states. When concocting the physical, emotional and spiritual elixir, it is about proportions. When coalesced just right, a masterpiece unfolds that moves us...as we are bathed in divine grace.

When the reflection of your interior is so pure that it is difficult to tell the real from the imagined, the inner from the outer, or the up from the down...it will no longer make a difference which is which.
