Perspective

Different perspectives.  I'm not talking about thinking about something through a different lens or someone else's view.  I'm not talking about you know when you know a song and sing it for a while and then learn that the words are different than you originally thought and the song has a completely new meaning.  I'm not talking about how I used to not like coconut and haven't had it for years and then recently I tried it again and I liked it.  And I'm not talking about when you have an opinion on something and you are talking to somebody about it and they say something that just changes your entire thought process on something which then in turn changes your opinion, or at least changes your reasoning on the same opinion.  These are all different perspectives on different perspectives: lens/eyes, language, time, others, etc.

I am talking about actual physical perspective.  Tonight I walked into the bathroom in my house and nothing was different from any other time I went into the bathroom.  I walked the same path as usual, was in the same spots as always with the same light, nothing in the room itself had changed, I don't think I was that different from the last time I had been in there.  But for some reason, the walls and the room looked different to me.  And not different as in something had changed.  Just that I saw it differently.  I didn't see it from a different lens or from someones else's point of view.  I didn't use any different language to describe the bathroom or the walls.  I didn't have an extended period of time away from the bathroom.  And I certainly didn't talk to anybody about the walls for me to think about them any differently.  I just saw them in a different way.  I can't really describe the difference.  There was no actual difference.  Nothing had changed with them or with me.  But it had changed.  EVERYTHING CHANGED!  My life has been altered.  No, not really.  They are just walls in the bathroom.  But I thought about it.  It's just interesting how sometimes nothing changes but things can still be entirely different.  Do you know what I mean and what I'm trying to say?  I just saw something different in the walls.  And not because I changed my lens.  Just because.  I wonder from now on if I will see it as before, like if this was a one time thing.  Or if from now on I will see it in this new way.  My perspective changed without me changing my perspective or my perspective being changed.

I hope you understand that this is not about the walls in my bathroom...
