I’m grateful I can walk and run, but I wish I could fly. Mobility and speed matter in the race of life, but more so the perspectives.
I see the world moving past me, but in the opposite direction, as I move in high gear.
Then, I move my sights to the ones moving alongside me, at a lesser speed and celebrate victory. Does it matter, that I ride a train or plane, while they amble or sprint or swim?
It is not the wings that matter, but the air under them, and recognising those who do it.

Yes. Yes. Yes! Perspectives. Possibility present, always. We but need the air beneath the wings, the wings available to us always.

I love this line. “Then, I move my sights to the ones moving alongside me, at a lesser speed and celebrate victory. Does it matter, that I ride a train or plane, while they amble or sprint or swim?”
Everyone matters and how and when one reaches their destinations are not the same but are just as important. There is much to be learned from one another.
Great SSS.

Interesting observation: “It is not the wings that matter, but the air under them” That air is important.

I live above the treetops and see birds flying by everyday. What a wonder it would be to to feel the wind beneath my wings and soar high and far, and how that would that change my perspective(s) of life!

totally had me at the ‘perspective(s)’
Surely there is no single, more powerful, tool available for those of us who search, than the idea of perspective.
(For me it simply means there is more than one reality, additional ways to be.
The power, (of this). lies in affording ourselves of additional experiences*, the challenge to us is in being able to accept that additional realities are as ‘real’ as any other.
Too many surrender to the fear that prevents having access to the power of perspective; they are afraid that if they accept another perspective, the world as they have always known it, the most basic of knowing, becomes unreliable, less than, even diminished.
When, in fact, the opposite is the result of accepting additional perspectives. (This is, of course, one of the reasons organized religions teach their followers to distrust other ways of learning about god.)
Thought-provoking as always!
*that which is not included in one perspective

You are so right about there being more than one reality.
