Though, I know it meant something. It meant there was something happening out there and I wondered what is was as I sat just thinking.&nbsp; Years later as an adult, the image of myself sitting at the window returned.&nbsp; This time I was able to look at it from a different perspective. I have experienced different things through the years as I have reached this point in my life.&nbsp; My mom used to say, "there are many different windows."&nbsp; Similar to the saying, "Walk in someone else's shoes." I can now&nbsp; understand and make sense of the phrase "There Are Many Different Windows."&nbsp; I can now understand that when I step back and realize that there is not just one window to look out, but several, life is a never-ending event of experiences.</div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
