If I let my mind wander
In this cramped small seat next to the largest person on the aircraft who is crowding my small space even more, then this might be an exercise in smallness and constraints.
But if I look out the window on the other side of my small seat, and see all the puffy clouds, and tiny roads and twists below and let my imagination soar, this might be an exercise in bigness and freedom and possibilities.
Both are true, the big man and the window, but I get to choose where to focus my thoughts and attitude.
