a different perspective

Would we have a different perspective on life if we went round a roundabout in the opposite direction for once?

I read that we should focus on what we do, be there, be attentive in every action we take however small. It was suggested when putting on our socks we aware of which foot we place the sock on first. Don't let this be a habit and try putting the sock on the other foot first. From day to day I don't remember which foot I placed the sock on first the previous day. Is this because it is an ingrained habit I have developed, or do I truly not remember? Or, should we put the sock onto the same foot each morning as part of our rising ritual? (I suppose as long as we are aware it is a ritual.)

Or, is it all nonsense and we think around anything creating new thoughts and reasons and suggestions. And, does it really matter?

But, I do believe that we should take good long looks at life from different perspectives. We do not have to like the alternate views, just know they are there. For me I do not want life to be one long high walled corridor I travel along. I like the idea of space. A large room, indoor or outdoor, in the cities or in the country and a selection of doors to choose from as I continue along my journey, the path behind me rather than before me. Although, sometimes I do like the path before me, it eases the walk for a while. Also there is some truth in that sometimes, I am afraid to form my own path.

And as I walk I do want Beauty to surround me, or at least for me to respond to that which lies around me with Beauty.

And one day I would like to travel round a roundabout in the opposite direction.
