This is another photo from the Valley of Fire near Las Vegas. If you are like me, your eye is drawn to the center of the image, looking into the distance. Why is that? Because it the center? Because it’s far away?

Whatever the reason, I would guess that most people pay little attention to the rock which forms a “window“ for this view. This is a recurring theme in our lives. Things which are close (the present) are routinely overlooked in favor of things far away (the future).
