The bird's eye view... this expression sums up the way I see things... it's my personal take... my analysis of the circumstances. That's what this blog is all about... a personal view of a period in my life that still holds power over me, even more than thirty years after the fact...
I like the term - PERSPECTIVE, and the thought of this little bird's perspective is especially appealing. In my mind I visualize that bird flying higher and higher, looking at the landscape from different angles and elevations. Her interpretation of what she sees changes, maybe improves, maybe becomes more focused, as she continues to circle and examine.
That's what is happening in my head and heart as time goes by and I move further away from all that happened to me. Further away doesn't mean 'fading away.' It's all about the passing of time. Getting further away from it has given me a clearer view. I have had time to think... study... grieve... pray... and hate. Yes... even hate.
Now I need to write it down. It will be difficult to put this history of events into any kind of logical order. Maybe I'll just write down the scattered parts of the story as they are recalled, and try to sort them all out later.
It is most important, for me, that I write it all down. I think I am finally ready to do that. I invite you to read along...
