According to Buddha
Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.
my window looks out over the park
and every year i move another story up
so now i’m almost close enough
to the roof of the sky to touch it
there must be a highway somewhere, roads i’ve missed
something more than sky out beyond the window

The point of staring out of a window is, paradoxically, not to find out what is going on outside. It is, rather, an exercise in discovering the contents of our own minds. It’s easy to imagine we know what we think, what we feel and what’s going on in our heads. But we rarely do entirely. There’s a huge amount of what makes us who we are that circulates unexplored and unused. Its potential lies untapped. It is shy and doesn’t emerge under the pressure of direct questioning. If we do it right, staring out the window offers a way for us to listen out for the quieter suggestions and perspectives of our deeper selves.

I appreciated reading this Urban…it’s new to me…and sometimes it is just difficult to sit and look/stare…as you write here we rarely do empty our minds…I really enjoyed this connection appreciated ~ smiles hedy ☺️💫✌️
I wonder how old are those bottles 🙂
I think no so old…it was a wine store…with a few tables for having some charcuterie…I was hangry…when I photographed 🙄😊 smiles hedy ☺️💫
Windows should always be open. 🙂 Beautiful shots again Hedy.
And yes angles, angles. Those are the keys.
(Factor analysis taught me to look at many objects from different angles)
