Perspective: The Power of Climbing up onto the Balcony and What Can We See?

"Perspective: The Power of Climbing up onto the Balcony and What Can We See?" (March 29, 2020)

We all know that anxiety and fear sharpen our minds and brains down to a narrow tunnel of needs and priorities and put our thoughts on infinite repeats of certain “What If’s” — or a long, tired, bleak list of them. The antidote to that is, in part, perspective, what one author called, “Getting up on the balcony.” So, let’s try and get up there, this morning. What can we see from the balcony of these days? What’s the long view? What do we ourselves, even, look like from up here?
