I have a light hearted whitter for you today. Recently I have added a regular weekly swim to my exercise and life management routine. I had forgotten how lovely it is to float in water, my local pool has unisex changing. In fact it is named a ‘changing village’, that’s a grand title for a slippery wind tunnel, with cubicles.
On my last visit, I was forced due to other customers, to walk down to the end in search of a cubicle and locker, to my shock, I noticed a full length locker, my my, I thought, I never knew that they had these. Such excitement I felt at finding it and claiming it as mine, whoo hoo! I hung my coat in there, feeling like I had won a prize for the day.. I have only ever seen small and medium sized lockers, its usually an effort to shove in all my stuff and get the door to shut. I was positively cheered by this new discovery and started to think on it.
So often in life we think we know things and become fixed in our knowledge. I hadn’t known of these lockers, yes there are two, who knows where else there might be some. I had turned, that morning, around a corner I had not been round before, just within that small place, there exists a part I had not known of.
It cheered me to think I had made a new discovery, just a small thing, I had not noticed before, how many other things do I miss, day to day? Not only are we oblivious to things outside of our daily view, but also things change, new things appear, sometimes its for the better and sometimes it takes a little adjustment. Sometimes if we just take a step in a different direction we notice things that were previously unknown to us.
A story for life, who knows what lies around the corners, who knows what new things we might see, nevermind experience, or feel even. Never be afraid of the corners. Always know there is always another corner and more to know, our knowledge is not fixed, we do not know all, we can stay in our little area or we can turn a corner and see whats out there.
Keep turning around corners.
