Fish don’t see the water that they swim in. It is an invisible part of their world. Likewise, we do not see our see-ing, the lenses or meaning-making systems through which we perceive, interpret and act on the world around us. Unlike fish, however, occasionally we have an opportunity to see and change our lens.

Twenty years ago I was fortunate to experience a lens changing event. Instantaneously everything changed, yet nothing about the situation was different except for the way I was seeing it.
