There is a rift between how I see myself and how others see me. I am constantly surprised by this difference and fail to take it into account in my living. This, obviously, causes me grief. I could pay more attention to creating a more aligned perception of me but I remain ignorant of exactly how to do this.
This morning the wonderful Mt Taranaki appeared to be visible for the first time in a couple of weeks. Its form seemed to be clear against the skyline but as the light level rose it was not the Mountain itself I could see but the cloud enshrouding the Mountain, taking its form in a generalised way. This resonated with my understanding of how people perceive me - they don't see or know me per se. - rather an impression of me.
