Perspective

Lately, I've sat in different chairs at my house and noticed things I can see from that perspective.  Like this morning, a glorious one at that, I'm sitting at one end of my porch and see an indescribably rich and bright green in the fronds of a fern hanging at the other end of the porch between me and the now easterning sun.  How can such color be?  Why is it such a pleasure to the eye?

I am again grateful for the power and magnitude of beauty, what it does to my soul, what it arouses within me, what it frees me to imagine.  What a blessing a different perspective can bring and what this morning's chair has brought.
