Are we nearsighted?? time for new lenses?

~ The real voyage of discovery consists of not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. ~  

Marcel Proust

 

 

We see the world

though a set of lenses

lenses we were given at birth

by our parents

and

layered with life experiences

tarnished by hurt and sorrow and pain

colored and tinted with love and laughter and joy.

 

We walk around,

wearing that same old pair of glasses

with

lenses that have

become scratched and warped and weak.

The people we see...

well we see who we want to see

draw our own preconceived opinions about who they are,

what they do,

how they live

decide

 whether we will like them or

not...without ever really seeing them...

all because of the pair of glasses we've placed on our face.

 

Some wear glasses from childhood,

all tight and stretched

and

the world viewed is now only a shadow of

what "really" is.

Others....

well they've grown and

learned

and

their variety of frames and styles and

lenses..

well they have a whole closet full

because they pay attention to when their vision becomes blurred

and they muster up

enough

reflection time

to get a pair

that they can see clearly though....

 

Let's face it...

we are all nearsighted at times...

can't see what is right in front of our face..we

let the overlays given to us by someone else

influence the way we think and feel

color our decisions

blur our possibility

diminish our actualization....

Keep us blinded from

all we can become.

 

Are you nearsighted?

Is your vision blurred?

Can you encounter a stranger and

laugh and speak and embrace

know only just those who are like you...

 will your lenses allow you to

see the spectacular colors of the entire

rainbow of people?

 

Can you see?

Maybe it is time to

get yourself a pair of new lenses and frames

so

that you

may continue on this adventure

called life

and

see

your own world of

Possibility.....

 

Are you nearsighted???

Get yourself a pair of new glasses and

SEE.

 

Happy Thursday

and

 

Hugs to you all!!!
