The possibilities are endless they say.
Start here; move over there; then
Swing around and end up someplace else entirely.
Somehow it all ends up uniquely suited
For the person willing to expand his vision—
No boxes allowed here.
The vast expanses of the universe are
Teeming with unused, unspent ideas just
Waiting for someone to snatch them.
I’ve caught a few of them myself
When occasion demands a different viewpoint.

I have to admit…
It’s odd coming at a problem from the side
Rather than front or back,
But perspective, it turns out,
Needs changing from time to time and
Cardboard walls need tearing down,
Or punching out as the case may be,
Because obscured vision kills hope
Faster than you can say, “Help!�

Look around again.
Get out of mental ruts and
Make a new path in the wilderness.
Fill up the valleys! Flatten the hills!
Reshape everything in your thought life
Until the idea makes some sense
Or a way around the problem is found.
Resolution does not always come easily,
But it does come—sometimes in “impossible� ways.
With persistent pursuit of improvement,
Vision expands exponentially!
