Clarity

Clarity

I am not sure if I’m writing these blogs to clarify part of my life, to pass on the wisdom I have acquired as I have gotten older, to help clarify and ease part of others’ lives or because I just like to ramble on and on, I’m not quite sure. Or perhaps I am. I do think as you get older that the nice part is that you get to see the big picture better and you understand things more, things are much clearer in your mind as to the purpose of why you are here and what you should be doing and clarity comes in so many different ways throughout your day. First thing in the morning about 5:30 or quarter of 6 I walk up to get the newspaper, depending on the time of year the sky is always amazing, right now the stars and the little thumbnail of a moon look like they have been cut out of a deep blue piece of paper and they sit in these amazing formations for you to look at and you feel so tiny compared to what you are looking at…that time of day is so amazing because it is absolutely quiet, the air right now is clear and crisp and it just makes you feel so alive to be in the middle of all this. There is another clarity through your day that you know that the problems that occur can be solved. That the issues that at one point in your life could be so dramatic now provoke a small smile because you know that you have been there and done that and all will be ok. You hope that the people around you understand that the calm that you radiate is because you have found some clarity in your life, an understanding and faith that at the end of each day, if you are lucky enough… the next day you get to wake up, walk up to get the newspaper and see an amazing array of stars in the sky.
