Most of us walk facing forward. It is what is customary and it is safe. If we are with a friend, we may turn our heads to engage in conversation. We may look down to check for roots or rocks when we are in the park or to check the step on an escalator. We will carefully check from side to side if we are carrying something through a doorway. We will be cautious if we see WET PAINT signs. How often do we consider looking up? Perhaps if someone draws our attention to beautiful cloud formations or to see how tall a tree has grown we will. The image that you see here was at the Chihuly Collection in St. Petersburg, Florida. There were stunning examples of art glass all around. The shapes, the colors, the lighting, the textures, and the proportions were fabulous. There was one hallway that drew your attention from a distance. Until you were actually in it you couldn’t really appreciate the beauty over your head. The pieces were resting on a transparent surface so they appeared to be floating. The composition of the collection was breathtaking. The overhead perspective gave it extra spark, making it a unique experience. How many experiences do we sacrifice because we are habituated to looking in just one direction? Consider turning, stretching, seeking and exploring. The rewards will surely be worth it.
