Good morning to you all.
In Egypt, I could see the Step Pyramid from my front window.
Pharaoh Dzoser built it 4700 years ago. He believed his spirit could inhabit a statue, so his likeness was placed outside the pyramid in an alabaster box. Stonemasons cut a three inch peep hole at eye level so that he could oversee his kingdom.
For nearly five centuries, Dzoser's statue has looked out of that same hole into the desert, blind to the changes going on behind his back.
Sometimes, it's easy to feel safe in our little boxes. The familiar perspective through the peep hole reassures us.
But life-changing events may be occurring around us, and unless we look beyond our myopic peep-hole we will be oblivious to them.
Be assured that what is happening in Egypt today will affect all of us tomorrow.
Doug.
