The point is to shift your perspective radically. Try this: Next time you refresh yourself with a drink of water, imagine that water from the outlook of a fish. To you, a glass of water is something to consume, but to a fish, it is home. Next time you admire a beautiful bouquet, shift your perspective to that of a bee. To you, the flowers are a sensual delight of form and fragrance, but to a bee, they may represent a day's work. Next time you are being plagued by a pesky housefly, imagine it from a spider's point of view. To you, the fly is only a pest; to the spider, it's a delicious dinner. What does the world look like to your dog? The familiar walk around the block may seem to you a fairly boring prospect, but to your pet, it's an intriguing mesh of scents, sounds, and textures.

To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.

"All strong souls first go to hell before they do the healing of the world they came here for. If we are lucky, we return to help those still trapped below."
