Standing on a Pile of Issues vs. Making Them Into a Comforter - Same Stuff, Different View

I will not dwell upon this too much, as I need to keep moving today, but it is one of those days where something has arisen and needs attention.  An issue is flailing around like an angry newborn;  as loud, but not as cute.

I have two choices;  I can gather these emotions and issues up into a pile.  I can then climb up and stand on them, like a kid playing King of the Mountain, and I can hold my head high.  I can use the pile to get a better view of the horizon.

I can also look at Issue 1 and formulate how it can morph into Issue 2, then they could multiply like a rabbit couple into BIG PROBLEM #3-45.  Even more math could get involved.  I could then take all the points of contention, weave a blanket and hide under it with a flashlight, desperate to view only a small portion of my dream because there is a big blanket keeping me from seeing much else.

MORAL:  I think it's been lovely, this view from atop this pile of things that tried to throw me off my path.  The air up here is crisp and clear.  I don't need a flashlight to see a tiny portion of my goals - they are well lit and all around me.  They are as breathtaking from a distance and upon approach as I am sure they will be upon arrival.
