the spiral staircase

metaphors for life abound...metaphors for about anything connected to the human experience abound...

and one of them would be the spiral staircase, how the process of living is that of mounting the staircase ... and as you mount, you see the things down below, they change their shape and view as you slowly wind your way up. things than once seemed so blank and ugly take on a different perspective, they become beautiful. and what seemed to be so meaningful, it loses its meaning, and becomes as insignificant as the dust that is swirling all around.

i am learning something new everyday, and it surprises me to discover that most of it comes back to my worldview - how i see people, things and places, how i see God and His role in my life, and how i see myself. there are many things i cannot change, least of all other people, but i can change myself where i have erred, although this is a long, slow and painful process.
and sometimes the things that happen, they raise questions, raise doubts ... so begins introspection and reflection for some answers.
in going inside, i see the person i really am when all is still, the hush within.

God bless all of you, and a happy birthday to Elizabeth, Harn, Raja and all other August babies. Petrina loves you. :)
