Beautiful imagery:
"The scenes in our life resemble pictures in a rough mosaic. They are ineffective from close up, and have to be viewed from a distance if they are to seem beautiful.
We would be wise, then, to acquire the habit of often taking a step back from our daily affairs, and viewing our lives, as it were, from afar. From that perspective, our minor anxieties and irritations will assume less importance, and the important things in life will reveal themselves more clearly.
Other than the imagery of the mosasic, another common imagery used to denote this idea is that of Monet's impressionist paintings -- upfront, one only sees a mash of dots or paint blots; but step back and these blots will merge to unveil a coherent and beautiful piece of art work.
