life with a filter

How do I define clarity? What does it look like when I wish someone clarity?


K. and I put this question on the table a couple of weeks ago. To be honest I have enjoyed watching and discussing the word with many folks, but I have not turned this word onto myself to define. It has been a bit of struggle for me to define it. For the past few months I have often felt like I sailing through this sea with a compass that simply spins around and around. No true North. So naturally I was leaning towards a cardinal direction to define clarity. But that is how I always filter my world. What direction I want to go, that is clarity. Then it came to me...

It is the opportunity to view the world (the world within myself and the physical world I move in) without filters coloring what I see. These filters can be emotions like love, pride, drive, jealously, passion,... To remove these filters can allow me to see the raw truth. At this junction, I struggle to keep these some of these filters clear of my vision.

So when I wish someone clarity, I wish for him / her the opportunity to view the world without filters. Even if it is only for a moment or two.
