Leaning In Reveals More

Leaning In Reveals More

          At a clean-up service project I was picking up some trash and noticed some garbage under a bush.  As I leaned down to get the items it was noticeable that there were more objects further in,

          A lesson learned from that was as we get closer we can see more that needs our attention.  I could not have seen that extra stuff from a standing position and had to get closer to the bush’s level to get what it revealed.

The same is true about children, and others too.  Getting closer to people, including kids, we pick up things because we are close enough to notice details that may be harder to grasp from a distance.

          When closeness is encountered the revelations are quite amazing, and we learn some lessons about the relationships when we’re open to see more.  The things we perceive can teach us about much that bring an understanding quite revelationary.

          Getting close to an object or a person can raise our sights beyond the current standards and bring us to a newness that may be so refreshing.  We might see differently showing something we’ve not been aware of before.  The act of leaning closer could be what is needed to strengthen bonds helping one or both.
