Perception
Tracks or ripples? Your mind can play tricks on you! Here’s another look…
Your perspective can change your perception.
From what perspective are you looking at your life right now? From a mountain or a valley…climbing up or sliding down…sailing along serenely or being tossed by the waves…fighting or hiding…hungry or satisfied…

I snapped a picture of this stone wall driving through Connecticut a few weeks ago. I’ve always been fascinated by these walls that seem to pop up out of nowhere, in the middle of the woods! So I had to do a bit of investigating. Let me share with you some of what I discovered!
