Big picture thinking

This page, for me, has lightning and a planet. It's messy and has dark parts but also lots of light. It put me in mind of stepping away from the details and looking at the big picture.

There are times when looking at the details, taking note and not missing anything are vital. But it's also possible to get bogged down in those details and miss the bigger picture. Until we step away, we can't see if what we are concentrating on is actually the most important part or whether it's a minor detail that we've become caught up on.

When we find ourselves having/receiving sharp words, it's worth stepping back and seeing the bigger picture. Is it really about this, or is there something else coming into play? Are we distracted by details that aren't really so important?
