Perspective

Being human is a wonderful experience.  Life is full of paradox, joy, conflict, drama and contradiction, very absorbing.  Taking a limited, short term view, which I have certainly done, life can feel like a roller coaster, pleasant at times, unpleasant at others.  Using the longer term view of someone my age or older, the ups and downs of life add to its texture, its fullness.  Using the meditative or contemplative view from an eternal perspective, all of life’s variations add to the feeling of love.  Each of the perspectives and those between are totally valid, just different.
