There's a Flower at the Tip of My Nose Smelling Me
There is a flower at the tip of my nose smelling me... from the perspective-altering book of the same name by Alice Walker.
I shared this quote/photo in April 2016 on another account about this gorgeous and mind-altering book I'm obsessed with (but have sadly lost).
It's illustrated so it might seem like it's "just" a kids book. And while it is fabulous for kids, but it is absolutely an adult book as well. It's gorgeous, mind-blowing, and succinct -- see if you can find it at an (independent) bookstore. (And why not stop shopping at Amazon today and in the future?).
(slightly edited photo from the book so I could include the words & the image)
Are you smelling the flower? Is it smelling you? Are you smelling each other?
What do YOU see differently from other people? Tell us in the comments!
This book can be read in a few minutes but you could end thinking about it for the rest of your life.
Think how much of an engaging and wondrous day you could have just by flipping the way you/we naturally think of the things /people/ideas in the world!
Moving Furniture / Houses / Cities to See Things from a Different Perspective
This is kind of why I love moving!
— And why I have rearranged the furniture of my room every month (or often more) since I was like six years old and why I have moved probably... I don't know like 80 times. I still haven't done a complete count!
After I've moved my room around to every configurations available, and after I've exhausted the routes that I take and have appreciated the details and the view... then I'm ready to GO!! To a different room, house, or city.
But the fabulous thing is, you don’t have to move to change how you see things. You can do it right this second.
What will you look at from a different angle or perspective today?
Change your life and the world just by changing your thinking/perspective/angle and the world and life will open and become so big (but also delightfully small)!
Thanks for reading!
I hope you have a marvelous day!
