A story is never one-sided. There will always be other perspectives,
other points of view, that someone can take—and why shouldn’t we?
Using these different perspectives helps us observe, understand and
learn from our experiences—they help us grow. Putting forth the
effort to take on these points of view sparked Existere’s Volume 37
Issue 2.
From trying on your mother’s clothes to embracing some neon
green runners to talking loudly about important subjects on a bus,
accepting different perspectives can open your eyes to the world
around you. From the relationship between a parent and child in
Sandy Green’s “Confluence” to the philosophical questions in Rich-
ard Brostoff’s “Last Thoughts,” taking on new perspectives pushes
you to look at a situation in a new light. From dirty coffee mugs in
Sean Callaghan’s “Banyan Trees” to a janitorial job in Jeanette Vo’s
“Moving On,” introducing various perspectives generally prevents
you from falling into single-narrative traps. From the left-foot, right-
foot binary in Mike Ekunno’s “The Unlikely Benefits of Walking” to
running against a legendary miler in Harvey Mitro’s “The Arrival,”
incorporating new perspectives in your life takes time and effort, but
its reward is worth it.
Orchestrating and organizing this edition was propelled by these
goals. We want our readers to strive towards taking on new perspec-
tives so that they can begin to see the world through new eyes. As our
front cover demonstrates, things aren’t always as they seem. With
this edition, we invite you to look beyond the surface and discover a
new outlook alongside us.
