The Blind Side of Clarity

March 4, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

A brooding 35mm low key blue hour abstraction with pan shot motion blur stretching the Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area lakeside landscape into the look of a painting.

The Blind Side of Clarity — 35mm | f/5.6 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/5 sec

You don’t need me to tell you life is an all out blur these days. An all out conflagration of the senses; body, mind and soul blasted by a raging inferno of the world’s lit fuse. Our defenses bested, our heat shields destroyed. Systems are critical and who will quench us now?

It is here and now we must look to ourselves and to our small pockets of control. Let’s do what we can to keep things neat and tidy, lest the traveling embers of wonton destruction set our own backyards ablaze. Things may look and feel hopeless, with authoritarianism, strife, conflict, and death on the move. We must not allow such malevolent actors strip away the clear view to what matters most in this world—each other, our children, our communities. Instead of a sniping some stranger with a quick hit feel good response of toxic emotion, give yourself a moment or three to respond with the soothing power of love and grace. It is our kindness and compassion that will save the world.
