Perspective...

When I think about life: I look, I observe, I ponder... but what do I see?

Do I see the big picture? Do I see what it's all made of? Do I see where I'm being taken, and what I should expect?



Or do I see closer in? Seeing simply what I'm supposed to see in the moment...



Or... do I see even closer? Do I ponder what the true reality is... what life really means? Do I look and capture in my mind the essence of what I'm being taught? Truly try to comprehend what's in the here and now, rather than what I wish I was seeing?



Yet in the end... doesn't life simply come down to one thing? If you think so tell me what that one thing is, here's a hint, look closely, and ponder.

When I take a moment in the quiet of a day to ponder what really matters, I find that aside from my Savior, His Father, and Their Words, life is rather insignificant--to quote the proverbial psalmist ""Meaningless! Meaningless!...Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless." (Ecl. 1:2)

With Many Blessings,
Sonja

It might be a bad sign that the first thing I saw was a long drop with rocks at the bottom.

Good post, though. :)
