GAILING PERSPECTIVE AND EXPANDING YOUR WORLD AS YOU WRITE

No two people see things the same way. We all see things from who we are and from where we are. And we are ALL right. This is especially true for siblings. Many of us float around close to Earth’s surface, lured towards the same temptations, seeking the same pleasures, fearing the same bogeymen. As we write we fire up our air balloon to rise higher and higher, viewing the world from a broader perspective, from our ‘all seeing’ eye, from the writer within.
Writing helps us examine things from different angles and in so doing we learn to understand how others view life as well. Writing broadens our perspective as we begin to observe the beauty and ugliness around us with our inner eye, our ‘all seeing’ eye. A variety of perspectives widen our field of vision and therefore expand our world.
Writing also defines our optimism and negativity. In a half-filled glass, do we focus on what is gone or on what still remains? As we read our prose we are often struck by patterns of contentment or resentment.
Another perspective gained through writing is that inside each of us is a child and a parent who are both standing by, waiting to participate in our creative process, and after expressing our frustrations or sadness through writing the parent has the last word as they offer comfort and wisdom.
So unlock the chains of the earth and rise to new heights to discover that there are many sides to our story, and to every story.
