'Upside Down'
Sometimes things in life appear to be upside-down. Everything might look the way it's not supposed to be. I think it's just a game that our mind plays with us on daily basis. The world is always as it should be, simply because it cannot be different. It is only our interpretations of events and situations, based on our expectations, what makes us perceive something as wrong, or "upside down". People often see things in the very light that gets tainted, passing through unconscious filters of their minds. We can say that we see only what our mind allows us to see. This is where all those great but often vague and uncomprehensible suggestions come to mind: "Open your mind...", "See beyond what you see...", "Look at things from different angles...", "It is not always what it appears to be..." and so on.
Guess what, all those are right on! As long as you know how to do the suggested. But, that is a whole different ballgame. Talking the talk doesn't walk the walk. But, the more one thinks about the words, the more likely one is to set them in motion and come to realize that everything that happens to us, is only a function of our mind.
I found this chair hammered to the ceiling in a place I visited a few days ago. I loved the idea, the feeling and decided to take it with me. I stylized the colour scheme to add more to the 'upside-down' feeling and enhance it. Whats interesting to point out is that I also took another version, one without the window. But, I chose to publish this one, because, without the window in the frame, the chair appears to be on the floor, with image turned upside down. :) Not sure if you noticed a strong light source to the left of the chair. I very much like the effect it makes and adds a lot to the atmosphere. It appears to be the sun through the transparent roof but it isn't. It is a light on the ceiling if I remember right.
On the other hand, if things are not 'upside-down', they might look awesome and just the way they are supposed to. This happens when our filters follow our expectations. Nothing more to it. The world out there is still the same. We are free to perceive things as disasters or blessings. It is all up to us!
So, then, if the world is the same, regardless of how we choose to observe it, isn't it much easier to take everything with a smile and to be full of love?
Enjoy! :)
