Perspective

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." -Anaïs Nin Our thoughts Our moods Our filter There is no reality Only interpretation Perspective A smile Hopeful optimist And love is in the air Happy moods much like sunlight Scatter sparkles Of joy everywhere A frown Frustrated discontent Bitterness much like clouds Throws dull shadows On every surface A peaceful attitude Gentleness within the heart The optimal way to See things as we are AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on February 2, 2020 for contest SHE INSPIRES SERIES-AN sponsored by MAUREEN McGREAVY - RANKED 5TH

Line, I love the prism you used to interpret this quote, the smile/frown filters that we use, and the reminder to keep peace and gentleness at the forefront. So lovely and insightful. Congrats on your win ~ John
