Blindness.
“Get out of the way asshole! I’m gonna be late! Can’t you see I’m drivin’ here?”
As the wind gently blows puffy white clouds across the deep blue sky,
A bird glides past the weeping willow tree. Past the swaying tree is a fawn and her mother peaking out of the tall, green field of corn. Around the corner a fox trots across the road and hides behind a bush.
“If this guy goes any slower!”
As a mother walks her little third grader to the edge of the driveway to await the school bus.
A dedicated 70 year old runner struggles up the steep hill and thinks, “I think I can. I think I can.”
A third shifter pulls into their driveway and slowly retrieves the mail from his mailbox, after long night on the job.
“I’ve got so much stuff to do! How am I ever going to get all this done?”
As an elderly couple walk side by side, and hand in hand around the park together one more time.
A farmer on his tractor is just finishing up his daily chores as the sun sets in the western sky.
His horses graze in the evening sun, his cows moo in anticipation of relief from being milked.
A father runs behind his child who for the first time, is riding his bike with out the training wheels!
“Holy Crap! It’s crowded in here! I can hardly breath! I wished they’d get out of my face!”
As someone screams for attention and acceptance, they sink deeper into a depression, and feel all alone, in this very crowded room. A girl sticks her finger down her throat and thinks to her self, “Maybe he’ll notice me when I’m skinny, only a few more pounds.”
A man stands in the corner, petrified with fear that a woman might talk to him, for he would freeze and not know what to say, for rejection has scared his broken heart one too many times.
“It’s too Hot out! It’s too Cold out! I’m starving! I’m too full! Man, do I need a drink!”
As the homeless man pulls in the flap of his small but somewhat stable card board box, in hopes that it won’t get below freezing this night. As his neighboring grocery store manager locks up his store and brings out the left-over soup from the kitchen that day. The stray cat from down the street prances up for hopes of a spill or two.
“It’s too bright out here!” “I’m Blind!”
As you open your eyes for the first time from being blind. Blinded by the busy world we live in. As our eyes adjust, and you “See the Light!” May God grant us peace, patients, and bless us with loving eyes to see the beauty in life, the good in others, and the hurt in others, that we may not be blind to all such things. May our hearts and eyes rest in peace at night, and be open to all during the day.
