I rather enjoy looking at optical illusions. They are so clever and the longer I look at them the more I see. The optical illusions used in this blog were all found by a quick google search.
Sometimes, like with this first illusion the picture changes depending on where you stand in relation to the image. Look at it close by and what do you see? Stand further back – what is the main image now?
That is so like life – where you stand determines what you see and sometimes we need to change our location so we can see a different perspective.
Another type of illusion are also based on perspective, but it’s the perspective inside the drawing. Notice the subtle changes from the waterfall to the dancing women. The image changes according to which part of the picture you are viewing.
Often in life we need to change how we see things – and that can be a challenging, even frightening, thing to do. Do we have the bravery to consider new perspectives and look for the truth in them? As we come towards the end of our lenten journey, what is it that you are seeing? What would a change in perspective look like for you?
