Trees and Forests
Have you ever heard the expression, “You can’t see the forest for the trees?”
It’s an idiom that is used to help us visualize what we can’t see. The forest represents the big picture and the trees are the details that make up the big picture. If we are standing in the middle of the forest, all we can see are the trees that surround us, i.e. our pain, our grief, our problems, our fears, our doubts, our failing health, etc. However, when we step out of the forest and reach a clearing, we can see the details that shape the forest.
We can see more clearly how our circumstances have made the forest fuller and stronger AND the areas of scarcity and weakness. Focusing only on the tree or only the forest can be considered all or nothing thinking which, depending on the circumstance, can be very detrimental. (More on that in another post.)
