Taking a wider view

Original post:  May 1, 2015

We often get so focused on our day-to-day tasks that we may sometimes lose perspective. There are many occasions where what we might personally be working on seems disconnected from a larger whole. It's only when you take a few steps back that you can gain adequate distance and appreciate a more coherent view.

Recently, I attended an exhibit with my kids that helped explain this much more elegantly. Here are some physical examples of the phenomenon.

Do you see anything in either of these two photos below?

Most people can make out the keyboard keys and the toast in the pictures. With a little wider perspective, the rest of the picture snaps into focus.
