“Clarity”

 I have moments; there have only been a few, when I have experienced a moment of “clarity". An experience that changed the trajectory of my life. It influenced my  thoughts, my actions, my perceptions.  In the past I expressed moments of awakening as “clarity.  In the true sense these were only internal lessons; something new, an aha moment.  True “Clarity” prompts change, usually drastic change. I don’t think I am alone in resisting change. I think it is easier to find a flow and to stay. In my life many of these drastic changes involve pain and difficulty adjusting. Some of my favorite songs have key changes involving major or minor chords, the unexpected.  Such is life when experiencing  “clarity”; beyond the uncertain may be a wonderful melody.  However the unknown makes me just want to turn around and somehow go back. It is so hard to face even though it is the same path just with a different view.

Same path, different view.
