the shift

close one eye and with the other eye focus on an object in front of you. now switch eyes. do you notice how the object appears to move a few inches...and even slightly change color?

this is something i've done since childhood...i guess i'm easily entertained. but today i realized this little game could serve as a great metaphor for life. one small shift in thinking or seeing can completely change how you perceive things. it takes both eyes (different viewpoints) to grasp what is reality.

i've been working towards a shift of my consciousness. constantly opening one metaphorical eye...and then the other.
