IT'S ALL PERSPECTIVE

I The are some cultures of people whom speak loudly to one another. From the outside looking in it appears that they are upset with one another - arguing their respective points. But they're not upset at all. It's just their way of communicating as to how they've grown accustomed. It's all perspective. II On earth a year is a long time - 365 days, and 24 hours is only one of those 365 days because it takes the earth 24 hours to complete one revolution on its own axis while taking 365 days to complete one revolution around the sun. But on the planet Mercury it's quite different. It orbits the sun once every 88 earth days, yet it takes 176 earth days for it to complete one revolution on its own axis. So Mercury's year is shorter than its day. It's all perspective. III In Canada and the northern United States we associate cooler weather and the changing of the leaves with September and October. Just the mention of these months conjures thoughts of harvest, hay in the barn, football and cross country, and the new school year. But in the southern hemisphere - like in Australia, autumn for them is our spring. March, April and May is when the air turns crisp and the leaves turn gold. It's all perspective. IV Sometimes it seems like there's no way out of misery. Every day that arrives is another day to suffer in silence and despise the sun for making yet another appearance. Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try I just can't do anything right. Now at age 52, what do I have to show for my life? Still a schmuck after all these years? V Well, with God available at just a call from my throat, nothing is hopeless! There are always possibilities! If everybody on this earth were to write me off, they'd be in the minority because where God is concerned He is always the majority. If God is all I have, God is all I need. If He be for you, who can be against you? He makes a way out of no way. When all around me gives way, He, then, is my hope and stay! As long as I am breathing there is hope! Really ... it's all perspective! COPYRIGHT © HAILE NKRUMAH GAULT ~ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
