Would you ever have guessed that a columbine could be so sparkly? Even though it’s not visible without the aid of a microscope or camera lens, it still contributes to what you can see walking by. Are the parts of you that aren’t visible to the rest of the world sparkling or dusty? What can you do to let some of that light shine through?

When you stare at that horizon line, what do you see? Do you see simply a line cutting across the middle of the picture? Or do you envision the land that eventually lies beyond it? Both are constructs of the eye and the imagination. There is no literal line and the coast of Canada is thousands of miles beyond.
Are there equally clear lines in your life that might be more accurately represented by a gradual blur if such a thing were possible? Would that change anything significantly?

Sometimes it’s hard to see where the real object ends and the reflection begins. This can be true for people too.
Are you seeing people, including yourself, with fresh eyes every day? Or are you reflecting yourself or others’ perceptions onto them?
