A shift in perception

The last time I was in the heart of the pine grove there was a pile of pine cones right where I wanted to do my tai chi.  My instinct was to move them aside so they would not be in my way; instead, I left them where they were and practiced around what I perceived to be an obstacle under my feet.   As water moves around rocks, I moved around the pile of pine cones while doing my tai chi form. 
​
Today when I arrived, the pile of cones had been formed into a circle.  Seeing the transformation of the pile into a circle awakened my perception.  First, I realized that my view of the pine cone pile as an obstacle was perceived by another person as a chance to create. 
Secondly, I realized that when I let things be, possibilities can blossom forth.  I do not always have to be the doer making effort to change something.  I can allow space to see what manifests.
