"Women are delicate and patient observers, they hold their nose close, as it were, to the texture of life." This is a quote from a book review I recently read that struck me as poetic and true. No offense to the men who read this blog. I believe some men also are "patient observers" but I do believe very often women and men see the world from different perspectives. Men tend to be problem solvers and "get things done." Women tend to be more likely to observe nuances and relationships. We need both! And, of course, those tendencies are observed in careers we choose.
But putting aside all those politically correct issues, I love the thought of "holding their nose close...to the texture of life"... no matter who we are.
Am I a "delicate and patient observer?" Today can I slow down and "observe the texture of life?" What might that reveal? Would it help me to know a friend a little better? Would it help in my recovery?
Thank you, God, for this beautiful "texture of life."
Blessings-Penny
