This is an image of a support pillar for a canopy covering a picnic area at a local park. Frankly, it doesn’t look like much when you view it straight-on. It’s funny how a change of angle creates an entirely different image. Lines shift. Surfaces reflect. Hidden colors appear. Sometimes one must move to an entirely different position to discover beauty.

It makes me wonder how many times I have missed something beautiful or vital because I didn’t make the effort to look at it from a different physical, mental or emotional stance.
