About

What it’s all about, Alfie –
Perspectives about life, experienced in all manner and at any given moment.

I spy, you spy –
How does what I spy with my black eye compare to what you spy with your brown, blue, green or hazel eye? What’s your take? What’s my take? What’s the take-away? Show me yours, I’ll show you mine.

Where we go from here –
Destination unknown but expanding the view along the way. Sometimes warm, fuzzy and amazing, sometimes jarring, but always interesting. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. It’s all based on perspective.

Perspective
a: the interrelation in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed; also: point of view b: the capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance <; trying to maintain my perspective>; c: a mental view or prospect <; to gain a broader perspective — Source: Merriam-Webster

It’s gonna be a fun ride, Clyde.
