Have you ever seen an optical illusion, like the famous drawing called “My Wife and My Mother-in-law”? One looks at this picture and sees an old woman with a headscarf and a hooked nose, and then one blinks and the picture becomes a portrait of a beautiful young woman with a plume in her hat. What changed? It was not the drawing – the lines are unaltered – it was only the perspective of the one looking.
We look at the news and see crises, panic, and victims, but if we shift our perspective just a little bit, we see only other versions of ourselves, expressions of divinity walking a path that looks different from our own but seeks the same end – oneness, balance, harmony, fulfillment. It really doesn’t matter what the ‘facts’ are, the Truth never changes. When we shift our perspective, open our field of perception to see that Truth, peace blossoms in our hearts, and from our hearts it spreads uncontrollably.
If this resonates with you might take 15 – 20 minutes to look at this idea. Allow your perspective to shift inward and your perception to expand until you feel the opening of your heart and the blossoming of peace – then let it flow.
Love and blessings,
Rev. Sharri
