Two windows stood in a corner, without curtains.
The two windows opened up to the same view.
Yet each looked out and saw life differently.

It is all a matter of personal inner interpretation, emotion and feeling…
Thinking…
If two persons were outside, each looking into the room from either window… would they see the same room? -
Are those your windows?
Are their toes touching?
🙂 -
Gorgeous windows and that is a room with a view……..
all according to the eyes that are looking.
Is that a basket of lavender darling one?
Love you -
How boring it would be for two different windows to see the same exact thing.

I love the quote: “We don’t see things as THEY are, we see things as WE are!” So guess it depends on where you’re standing and what your heart sees.

So beautifully put. I feel that in many ways that is perfect to sum up many relationships in my life… The photograph is so gorgeous as well!! 🙂 -
Perceptions…
I could just BE in that room… -
A beautiful illustration of why several people can all see the same thing and report seeing something entirely different.
-
I like the dreamy quality you’ve achieved.

What a beautiful spot to sit and reflect. I could happily sit there with a book in sublime solitude and then when I am ready throw open those windows and drink in the view, let the soft breeze blow through my hair and get lost in the natural beauty that lies beyond.I am there right now,transported through time and space waving hello to Corey as she comes across the field of flowers to greet me. What an imagination I hear you say!

Perfect and fitting words for a lovely photo Corey!

This is so true!
Great illustration! -
Two windows, two points of view. No two of anything can be exactly the same. Interesting topic to think about.
Hope your day is as bright as the sunlight filtering into your photo.

Love the study in grey and silver… and a wisp of lavender.

And if there was only one window the view would still differ, from person to person, from time to time, depending on your mood and so on.
I got the most amazing cd from a garden friend in Germany. She had photographed one special tree in her garden every singel day during one year……I never get tired of watching the cd. -
Beautiful shot, such a lovely metaphor of perspectives.

Corey, so true. sometimes, depends on our own moods, we see the same situation differntly. It reminds me of this poem by Rabindranath Tagore (861-1941):
I came out alone on my way to my tryst. But who isthis me in the dark>
I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.
He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger;
He adds his loud voice to every word I utter.
He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame;
but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company. -
How pretty!
My sister and I describe our childhoods very differently, in much the way that the windows are the same but different. -
i love windows, especially the ones without curtains!
-
I love the dark walls!

Now, this image will bring me to my handwritten journal for sure. I like your site so much and thanks for visiting mine.

Perspective is everything.
It can change from person to person, and day to day.
Today my glass is half full. -
How very true this is, are we really that far apart and can we understand this and come closer?

I love your Blog. My daughter and I are visiting Paris in June…it’s her HS graduation gift. You have such a gift for capturing all the little important day to day snippets of French life. We are arriving with no plans…..just taking walks up one Avenue and down the next and with lots of twists and turns in between. Thank you so so much for making us so excited about this adventure.
