When blindfolded it is usually impossible to see clearly. If
we remain blinded once the actual blindfold of circumstance has been removed
from our lives then I can’t understand why it is still impossible to see
clearly. I have taken into account that time is needed to adjust tot the
different levels of light and information that is being received into our
brains but after that period surely our vision should be fine, don’t you think?
What I have discovered to be true is that things that appear
solidly bound together have an strange capacity to break apart at a quick pace when
a devastating event impacts the structure. This could be a house, a family or a
heart.
Sometimes these destructive forces have been hovering nearby
for a great amount of time, other times they arrive in our lives like
tornadoes. No matter how much we hold onto the structure we will not be able to
hold it together. The cracks appear and the foundation crumbles.
What I wonder is why can’t we see the potential for
destruction when we are wrapped up in the warmth of the present. Do we choose
to wear the blindfold against the future or are they really only blinkers that
have us focused on the reality in front of us?
If we knew there was danger ahead maybe we would build
better foundations now for the things we want to keep in our lives. Wait, that
sounds like a good idea! Now, where did I put that cement of love, kindness,
caring, sharing and friendship? Ah, there it is ...
I’m off to firm up my foundations.
