Above or at Eye Level ?

Do you prefer observing nature from above or at eye level?

Have you ever pondered the allure of viewing the world from above? 

It's the thrill of seeing every intricate detail from above, a vantage point that grants us a sense of mastery over our surroundings. When we rise above, we can deeply dissect and analyze the landscape, uncovering patterns that intrigue and engage us. The world takes on a new dimension, and we become explorers of a vast, intricate canvas. Observing from above feels like controlling everything, as if we can monitor each movement—the flutter of a leaf and the beat of a bird's wings. It also offers a bird's-eye view of every pebble scattered below, allowing us to imagine the stories behind their journeys from mountains to their current resting places. We can witness the waves crashing against the rocks, then disintegrating into the ocean as they foam and cleanse the shore. From this vantage point, we can observe a person noting how the wind plays with her hair, while also gaining insight into the condition of her hair follicles, all from our elevated perspective.

Observing the world from eye level reveals nature's beauty in amazing ways. From this viewpoint, we see vibrant flowers swaying in the breeze, their petals shining like jewels in the sunlight. We notice how sunlight filters through the leaves, creating playful shadows on the ground. The sky above is a blank canvas filled with fluffy white clouds that drift slowly, taking on shapes that spark our imagination. This view helps us appreciate the delicate dance of light and movement while showing us the unique beauty we can find at eye level. It makes us feel more connected to the natural world around us as we can even see the emotions in a human by peeking in her eyes. 

My two cents: Looking at our surroundings from above, we often miss the lively details around us. Our focus tends to stay on the ground, making it easy to overlook the beauty of life around and above us. This limitation of seeing from a height shows how important it is to view the world at eye level. 

What helps you gain a better understanding?

An interesting perception!

My son used to love Thomas trains, and his interest was devouring our entire household since we had music playing for those all those hours that we would be awake.

Train sets were lying around and we would nickname every person we came across with Thomas's characters such as Toby, Bertie, Henry, James, Gordon, etc.
Life around us was so British!

Then came the Barney days when everything my kid saw was loved and that landed up as a big old lovey dovey family.


Forget an adult, thanks to media, there has been knowledge even in a toddler that his curiosity kept changing.

Interests keep varying as we age.

Ever wonder why?

Things that tickled or amused us a couple of months back, give us the creeps or we show no interest in it.

This is a clear indication that our tastes our evolving. This could be due to our understanding, impression and awareness.

Evolution of man has lead to all of us utter this statement, "I have absolutely no interest in Xyz" at least once in our lifetime.

No wonder man has progressed this far. Our Ape days are history as we have all emerged from our caves into our homes that are submerged with various gadgets and modes of entertainment.

Our perception over several issues has made us opinionated. We believe in analysis, discussion and scrutiny over any matter, and most of the time we avoid giving in easily.

As long as man continues to tread along the journey of change of interests and pursue different passions, to bring about positive change within and around him, he shall continue to make a difference in his and someone else lifetime.

Mantra for today: Interests have a right to hop and leap, as long as they are beneficial to mankind.
