Perspective

Here is Philip Larkin from his poem High Windows - a great perspective to keep in mind:

This quotation comes at the end of the poem, but you can feel free to put whatever thoughts you choose before it. It works with them all. So go ahead and give it a try. First of . . . this can be done either outloud, as a kind of interior monologue, or if you prefer write it out. You might think of it as a kind of meditation on a problem, dilemma, etc. Anyway get it all out there, and then,



tack this on to the end of it:



. . . . And immediately.

Rather than words comes the thought of high windows;
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.
