On Perspective

by Apr 12, 2024

“Six days a week we wrestle with the world, wringing profit from the earth; On the Sabbath we especially care for the seed of eternity planted in the soul.” -Abraham Heschel

This week, as finals dawn, my own studying regrettably takes me away from the things I enjoy. In light of this, I will share a thought on the importance of perspective. Perspective becomes relevant in the midst of distraction and pressure. It is in these moments that we have an opportunity to remember the source of our own self-worth, not in grades or status, but in our inherent value.

Wishing you well as we take advantage of this invitation to remember the deeper foundations of our lives. Good luck with finals!

Greetings! I am a student of natural medicine because I enjoy the beauty reflected in the human body and spirit. I believe the best medicine is the gift of grace that, once received, heals the posture of the heart. To relax, I like talking with my husband, reading books, and swimming in the ocean when available. Please feel free to reach out!

In times of distress, this concept is good medicine. For daily strife, I medicate with poetry. I enjoy the ornamental prose of doting adoration. Old language may be considered primitive, but it’s the best remedy I’ve found to endure the routine burden of life.
