How much will we be willing to "get out of ourselves" to a greater extent in the time lying ahead?
This means more thinking of the broader picture and choosing to act or respond accordingly.
We're lazy and we mostly suck at this process of shifting perspectives. And it's not our fault.
Think of what the moon sees on occasion. I call it the moonview. It's a simple practice.
When we actually notice (this takes effort somewhat sadly) the moon in it's changing glory, this is actually a giant first step. Just like the first step on it ha! Seriously, notice it first. I may be mistaken, but the way it shifts around the Earth and reflects/absorbs light from the Sun changes every single month in a manner that makes it full every 30 days. That's some elegant change.
Now, think of some of the ways we stay stuck and stagnant over this period of time in our own minds and bodies and lack of movement and whatever whatever. We don't commonly mirror the natural world that surrounds us. Yet we certainly come from nature and the most natural process.
Next, consider yourself on the moon looking back at Earth. It looks beautiful. And it looks beautiful probably from any vantage point. The moon keeps the Earth company like nothing else and it's actually pretty sweet. I guess in this mental transaction one can better realize or be aware of the certain "smallness" of our own existence. It helps to lessen and maybe eliminate fear and other self-defeating mindsets that discourage us to grow in the way the universe likely intended.
So shift a little bit. Your vision, your perspective, the belief of what's actually possible during the time or rotations of the Earth and moon. Because more simply, this is all that time really happens to be.
