After lunch, we had multiple personalities leading our family tour of the city. Equipped with a map and a highlighted route of suggestion, we spent much of the time trying to get to the highlighted portion
We finally came upon a recognizable Florence landmark, the Cattadrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, or the Duomo as it is known. We stopped to take pictures. As we kept walking, we noticed the building kept going..on and on...We finally made our way to the front. WOW! What a sight!
It just kept getting BETTER AND BETTER!
They say wine gets better with age. How often do things get better the longer we enjoy them, pursue them, or spend time with them? Isn't that the sign of a good Netflix binge? I've heard countless couples say they are more in love today than they were on their wedding day. I have read plenty of books that start slow, but by the end, I can't put them down! When I get up for a morning workout, it is awful until I get started, and then I'm glad I'm doing it. Then, I feel great! Better and better!
My family was kind enough to point out the fantastic entails and carvings on the front of the Duomo. They saw God looking down as well as Jesus and Mary in the middle of the 12 apostles. I came to call it the Sistine Chapel of Florence!
I took pictures for the sake of having photographs, but I also did it to employ a strategy I learned a number of years ago. I've found that by taking a picture and zooming in, I can see a magnified version of a subject I can't see with the naked eye. I saw the carving details for myself!
It all becomes clear when you look at something from a different perspective.
What in your life needs more time to get better and better? What needs a magnified view for a better perspective?
