Wider Perspectives

A wise man once told me that to understand things, sometimes you need to leave the area and reflect from a distance to get a wider perspective. Sometimes we’re so deep into the situation that our judgment is clouded by how close we are. Sometimes it’s good to take the hint and take a walk. […]

Mountains, Plains and Valleys

I am grateful for the variety of experiences that come in life. There are on the height of a mountain experiences.
