This morning there were masses of spider webs in the garden. But only this one was stretched over the horizontal plane. At that moment I realised all the other webs were on the vertical plane, hanging like works of art in a gallery.
Sometimes we need to notice something different in order to notice what’s common.
During this pandemic, both in lockdown phases and during the times when restrictions are eased, I think this has been happening. We are noticing things which are different and that’s making us much more aware of what we’ve been living with and accepting unconsciously as “normal”.
We don’t have to accept the ordinary and the routine as normal.
Sometimes it takes change, it takes a change of perspective or angle to see clearly what has faded into an “zombie” style of autopilot living.
What are you seeing more clearly now?
What would you like to change about the “normal” ways we’ve been organising and living our lives?
