The Cathedral of Summer

"I walk without flinching through the cathedral of the summer.  My bank of wild grass is majestic & full of music.  It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips."  Violette Leduc (1907-1972), France

If you look hard enough, you can find beauty almost everywhere.  All you have to do is look at the world through the eyes of a child, because children see beauty and wonder in the simplest things.  So, try to find that child-like quality  in yourself when you look at the world.  It will look like a better place if you do.

The Way We See

You may realize that you see things not as they are . . . but as you think they should be. Strive to change the things in yourself that you want to change in others. Keith D. Harrell

We all see things based on our own experiences and not always the way they really are. So, before you try to change anything, or anyone, make sure you're looking at the situation as it really is and not veiled by your own perceptions.
