I have two lenses through which I can view my world.They're very different.
I can look at life as a
position to be defended
or as an
adventure to be explored.
The first lens feeds a bubbling undercurrent of anxiety.
The second opens me up to new worlds
and recovers my smile.
A thousand voices tell me to choose the first lens, because the world is a hard place and it will steal what you've been given--the millisecond you're not vigilant.
One Voice tells me to toss that worthless, blurred-up lens of anxious grasping, and start the adventure.
As a person of faith, I must believe I'm not locked in by DNA or past history or the dire warnings of the world.
So... I can choose which lens I look through.
Which will it be today?
Excellent ... and a reminder that: a] the choice is ours; and b] we will choose one or the other. Thank you Greg for helping me remember to chose "an adventure to be explored" :-) ... very much looking forward to a cup of coffee with you one of these days there in Chicagoland!
