Been in London today having great conversations with interesting people. Looking up at the London Eye and imagining how different the view of London was from the Pods, compared to what I could see - I was struck by how easy it is to get so bogged down with the day-to-day things of life, that we lose our perspective on the bigger picture........Like Moses in the wilderness who could only do one day at a time - but needed to remember the promise of what was to come.... Our day to day is important - and can bring a rich mix of joy, sorrow, excitement and struggle, but more important is the bigger picture - and our part in it. The danger is that the day to day that we can see, squeezes out God's bigger picture perspective, that sometimes we can't..........
I also spent a (frankly puzzling) half hour at the new Tate Modern Sunflower Seeds installation by Ai Weiwei - I'm not sure I really understood the sculpture - but loved this quote about it, which sat alongside my pondering at the Eye...
"what you see
is not what you see
and what you see
is not what it means"
