Keyholes

Look!, by AnnaKika

We think we can’t see. We think we are blind. We think we are looking at something tiny and limiting and there’s nothing there.

But the world is chock full of tricks. The eye, the mind, the spirit, expand and contract depending on how we look and where we look and what we want to see.

Before you dash off to another place, thinking you’ve got it wrong yet again, stay where you are for a moment more. Inhale the dim light of this place. You had your reasons. You followed a trail to right here. Now, even from the tight space in which you find yourself, focus into the distance.

You will find open doors. Shadows will lift. Perspective will grab you and pull you, intact and filling fast, through the keyhole. Into a world big enough for the new you.

    And somehow when asked how did I end up doing something or being somewhere, my favorite explanation “It seemed like a good idea at the time” fits right in here.

    Thanks Grace for another ahA moment!

  2. I was thinking maybe I got it wrong, yet again, being on my own after 23 married years; then I visited my ex and his new wife today, and it all came back in to perspective. I came away thrilled with where I am… and who I am..
    A true “keyhole” experience. Perfect timing, Grace, as usual.
