Changing Places

      We have talked about a focal point in a room.  How this is what grabs your attention.  When a room's decor shifts, other design elements become secondary.  When you move a large scale piece of furniture the balance shifts.  To avoid confusion we learned how color can often play up or down a focal point.  So often we are unsure of changing the room's position by readjusting the point of view.    A life lesson learned came as a sudden surprise when I had to let go of an incident with my teenage son.  All I could think about was how could I let go of the disappointment of his action.  The late phone call and sleepless night.   My focus had to change.

      As the pieces of my ROOM came in FULL View, I knew nothing in my space was holding together.  Balance was off.   It was not a matter of being asymmetrical or symmetrical.  The dominant FOCUS in my interior was not pleasing.   I changed the center.  Re-centering perspective.  Visual appeal shifted.  My STYLE in the room changed.   The subconscious confusion improved as I moved furniture in my soul.  Praise surfaced.  I suddenly saw beauty.

       Praise unlocked and recaptured my VIEW.   The wonder of G-d's creation!   He was a  fine scholar, star athlete and a GREAT kid.    He did not have to  change.  His position in my room CHANGED.  I am so thankful that I changed PLACES.

  

      I moved the focal point.  Things in our life change and get re-arranged.  I have learned we must remain STEADY as we move furniture.  We may loose our grip.  Like our heart furniture can be BROKEN.
