Clarity



Not even sure why this picture attracts me. I guess it's the clarity -- you can SEE those gravel stones through the water. Does it matter that the stones were put there by Celebrity, Inc. instead of God? Don't think so. It's still freakin' beautiful.

I don't believe in clarity. I don't trust it. WHY is another of those unanswered questions, but I have a lot of trouble trusting people's statements - particularly their compliments. "Good try" really means "you missed it." "Great shot" means "I can't believe you actually won a point." I read into and behind and under and I twist every statement until it somehow confirms my old beliefs that I'm not worth very much.

But I'm learning. I know about my tendencies to mis-read everything. And I'm learning to accept, just a little -- to accept and take it in -- to keep all of it in my heart.
