Fenced in

At first glance, it’s just a fence.

But like everything, everyone, and anyone, it has a story, a history, a context.

Someone decided there was a need. Someone picked up some tools and built it. Someone maintains it. A whole lot of someones benefit from its very existence, even if they never take the time to think about it. Or give it a second glance, let alone a first.

But here’s the thing: At first glance, there’s no such thing as “just” a fence. At first glance, there’s no such thing as “just” anything. At first glance, maybe just one glance just isn’t enough.

Not a bad lesson to hold onto as we reflect on the year just ended and ponder the one ahead.
