Perception Really Is Everything

I must send a huge thank you to my favorite writers, theologians, and philosophers who've allowed me to believe and explore the depths of imagination and see the beauty of God and all His creation.

This particular quote is about perception and not everything we see is always the case. It's a beautiful thing to know that while I'm grazing through the pastures of infinite wonder... I am not truly lost. I am but finding myself and exploring the ocean of grace the Lord placed us in. 

All that is gold does not glitter,

    Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

    A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

    The crownless again shall be king.

- J.R.R Tolkien -

Oh and shout out to Jana at "Perception is Everything." She's a great example of "good perception."
