It's important to maintain perspective, at least that's what I've heard. What I think that means is, learn how to look at something from a bunch of different points of view, and there's so many it can be hard to choose one, but don't get stuck in just one. In fact, it's good to have a couple, in case you lose one. Once I was witness to a short back and forth on whether "stuck" was a feeling or not. I've thought about it (from several different perspectives), and I've come to the conclusion that yes, "stuck" is a feeling, and a symptom of losing perspective.
I'm pretty good at not feeling stuck, but it can creep up on me when I'm thinking about something else. Sometimes I can wind myself up in a string of thoughts and can't get out without help. Gack, I hate that when that happens.
All this to say, I went to Staunton yesterday to spend time with friends, go to a Yule ritual, and gain at least one more perspective. I came home happy and content and ready for a nap. I truly love sleep.

Different perspectives - yes, Geomancer and I compare issues to a stellated dodecahedron, each issue can be viewed from at least 12 perspectives and maybe more...if one extends all the lines of the dodecahedron out to it's next dimension.......eventually to eternity, I guess! Do you remember Geomancer and his 12 foot tall stellated dodecahedron at Buffalo Gap summer camp? We still have a photo of it! Unfortunately it is not yet in a digital form, but maybe I can figure out how to post it on my blog one of these days. Thanks for this wonderful post, my friend.
