Finding a Brighter Perspective

Finding a Brighter Perspective
            War and pandemic make the world look grim on a grand scale, but personal challenges also make life feel bleak—loneliness, illness, trouble in relationships or work. When our world view has taken a dark turn, physically shifting to a new viewing spot can refresh our perspective.
            Walk up a hill or to an open space where you can see the horizon. Watch the sky reflected in a sidewalk puddle, a pond, or the ocean. Open your window and listen to the birds, feel the breeze, see the light changing.
            Changing our vantage point can trigger a sense of encouragement that felt elusive a moment before. Get up, get out, and keep putting one foot forward!
            This week’s HikingAutism Hike Notes from the archives is Rhubarb to Miwok Trail Overlook, a hike that starts on a narrow, shady path and then rises up to broad views from a hill.
