I saw this pair of Canadian geese this afternoon. They were enjoying a nice “warm” soak in a small stream…

They were feeding along the banks, occasionally honking, and then feeding some more.

It was a nice idlyllic scene… except that it wasn’t. They were standing in run-off from the local Metro parking lots.

How often am I so focused in on my immediate surroundings that I forget to consider what might be healthy for me in the long run, and what might not be? Do I keep my focus so turned inward that I miss the big picture?

It seems to me that perspective is everything.
