Framing Your View

MAP

Push, Pull.  Here, There.  Back, Forth.

They are all opposites but not in opposition with each other.

And neither do you.  You do not have to oppose that which is on the opposite side of you.

Have you ever considered those polar opposites can exist at once, at the same time. 

Your north and south poles do, and in a way hold everything in between.

They simply provide a context.

And there is a larger context that holds your planet in between.  And there is a larger context after that.



Look for the larger context within which you hold any situation.  That provides a reference for you to see you are never on opposite sides.

You are not always in opposition.

What if the larger context revealed you were actually closer to being on the same side than you ever thought?

Take any situation and zoom in and zoom out.  Change your frame of reference and see what you can see.

Imagine you held a camera up to your eye and can only capture a portion of the whole.

Move slightly to the left or right or up or down, and the whole picture before you takes on a different light.

Turn the camera ninety degrees, or on an angle, and you see something completely different again.

Create a panoramic shot of the whole before you, but you must also include overlaps so you don’t create gaps.

Just like a camera you change the frame through which you see.

Pointing straight ahead is not always the most favourable shot.

In fact, it rarely is.

How many times have you pointed and shot without moving the frame a bit here or slightly over there, and even moving a step or two to completely change your view.

Left and right, up and down, here and there – they are merely frames within which to see, but they are not absolute, nor do [they] exist without all in between.

Change your frame and you change what’s in between.

The important part is to see the whole rather than the ends – for they do not exist without each other.
