The Floating Rock

Perception
 
Perception shapes the way we see the world
It influences our actions, plans, and decisions
It can assist in building the moral compass  
Understanding it creates synergy and cohesion
 
But a misaligned perception will create chaos
And misunderstanding and miscommunication
It can slowly chip away at the core of empathy
Eliminating any chance for joint collaboration
 
Reflection
 
Reflection measures our actions and their results
An important profound look inward when we pause
Like an evaluation of the personal human experience
Helping identify and study the root and the cause
 
In the process of recognizing behaviors and patterns
Reflection awakens our mind, or spirit, or both
It should be used as an effective tool to seek truth
Embracing a pragmatic approach for personal growth
 
Inquiry
 
Inquiry dives deeper in pursuing fact and knowledge
It encourages curiosity and builds critical thinking skills
It can assist in clarifying issues and exploring solutions
Encompassing cooperation during a battle of wills
 
Inquiry promotes open lines of interaction and learning  
An exchange of ideas to elevate and problem solve
It requires mutual respect and common sense
Which can lead to better outcomes to all involved
 
The Floating Rock
 
The miracle of the floating rock is but an optical illusion
Which if misunderstood will create arguments all around
In applying the values of inquiry, perception and reflection
One can finally see, the photo simply upside down
