Perspective

Perspective can be perplexing.

Shadows being cast can be long off the smallest of pebbles if your perspective is wrong.

Running in the early morning never feels right. The sun is poking itself over the trees and making long shadows off the short gravel crunching under foot. The dark road seems to beg for the emergence of light. As I reach the turnaround distance I am enlightened by perspective. It seems with the warmth of the early day sun on my back, the road now blinds me with light. The long shadows of despair are dethroned by light.

Making my way back I look forward to the day ahead. Good times with good people and now the mind has the right perspective.
