Clear Vision

As I drove on the freeway yesterday, the sky was hazy and gray asphalt muted my vision. In a flash, color popped the scene alive. Red tile roofs, yellow ragweed, orange poppies, and purple ice plants emerged against the blue and white wispy sky. The view quickly changed from a blur to a vibrant image.   

It is similar to sitting in the Optometrist’s office with your face pressed against the cold lens finder. Your vision is fuzzy as you hear “click, click,” from the dials searching for the right adjustment. The “click” stops. The chart is now bright, sharp, and in focus.

This transformation also occurs with our thought and decision process. We are clouded in confusion, blinded by the haze.  We can be consumed with searching for answers..

When we relax and release, trusting the power within, our mind is illuminated with clarity.
