"You haven't seen a tree until
you've seen its's shadow
from the sky."
Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart experienced numerous sightings as a pilot flying through the skies. Looking down upon the world, she was able to view things from a different perspective. To observe from various angles, one becomes aware of the entire picture, not just one glance at still life.
We each can hold a perception based from our memory banks, colored by our past emotions. It is our truth from how we viewed it. Another person may have observed an entirely different rendition of truth as seen from his or her vantage point. Gathered information contributes to discovering the full truth.
Gossip rarely contains the entire truth, but we allow our thoughts to be influenced. If the rumors in the community are about our lovely selves, we may bury it deep inside and become numb to all feelings. This is when teen agers begin to cut on themselves, longing to feel. In extreme cases, the state of numbness can drive one to violence in order to feel ... even if it is pain.
