You Can't See All the Angles

Sometimes you just need a different angle. A new way of looking at the same thing, so that it loses its sameness and becomes something real.

The solution could be as simple as a looking at a reflection or shifting a little to the right. Other times more drastic measures are needed. Flipping it upside down, inside out. Pushing it into unexplored or even unimagined dimensions.

An open mind helps. The ability to have, recall, and implement big dreams. It's almost like pretending to be a god of sorts. A master planner.

You can't see all the angles, nor can you know which among those is best, but you can give an honest effort and use your best judgment. Human qualities.

Some might see this as a limitation, but what does that really mean? It means you need to stay within certain boundaries but that within those boundaries you are free to do as you please.

That's pretty powerful. Like a haiku.

From an inner strength

Ideas bound by structure

Beauty arises

Or if you prefer more concrete images (or concrete structures), imagine a skyscraper that cannot fall. Perhaps a canal that water flows through, directed toward something specific, focused and useful.

Life itself might be a haiku. Then again, if you look at it from a different angle and see it new, maybe it's a skyscraper or a canal. There really aren't any limitations.

Thinking in this way requires effort. Many things do. But what is effort, if not the application of dreams? And what is more noble than applying dreams?

Because whatever is in your head right now, at this very moment, just might be desired by others. And unless you choose to share it, they will never know the potential even exists.

From an inner strength, beauty arises.
