Sometimes we are invited by life to take a closer look. It may not seem like an invitation but we know it when we find ourselves looking at a part of our lives from a different angle. It is as though our eyes are being opened to a new perspective of something we have only seen from a fixed perspective. Sometimes it is experienced as a slap in the face but prior to that we get a chance to peer at it from a different angle. We sometimes miss those because peering is more subtle than a flash. We are used to waiting for things to flash and grab us versus come sit besides us and whisper in our ears. The advantage of listening to the whispers of the peering is a chance to embrace it with a gentleness. There is no right or wrong approach or preference when it comes to change. Change is change. Peering may lead to less resistance and gives us the opportunity to open ourselves to it a little at a time. God is interested in us growing in love and light at every moment of our lives. God is not interested in forcing us. God simply opens the door of our hearts and allows us to peer in to see what is in store for us.
