perspectives

i was looking at some pictures i took over the summer, and just playing with them, laying them on the floor... trying to make them more interesting i guess, maybe redecorate my room.

putting them together a certain way, eh i'm sad i don't know how to use photoshop well enough to arrange them in a non-rectangle way, but anyways... putting each angle/view of similar scene/object together... adds to the whole so much. and if i change the location or take one out, it totaaaallyyyy changes the picture. possibly the meaning.



i guess taking in so many things from different books, professors, encountering people, watching things, observing, hearing... made me realize, there's so many different perspectives out there. from people with different backgrounds. and how much are we missing out... of the whole picture, if we decide to interact with just a few of the perspectives, few vantage points.

i don't know about you, but i don't want anything but the whole picture, especially if it's something i love. if it's something i love, i not only want to hear from the people who are passionate about it in the same way, but also grow in knowledge of it from other aspects- even if i don't agree or am pleased with it- so i can truly comprehend... i guess in a way, what i'm getting myself into. haha. and how i can really... love it.



i think we limit ourselves so much because we choose to associate with just the certain kinds of people, indulge ourselves in just a narrow range of interests. i think our initiatives need to be different, to engage in more than the activities and more than the relationships that we would normally find ourselves in


i want nothing but the whole picture, nothing but Your story...
