clarity n.,
clearness [clear]
There are
many clear and concise explanations for countless things in life. Science has
this incredible way of proving the impossible possible and blowing the minds of
us mere mortals to infinity and beyond.
Reasoning, facts, evidence, proof; all
are elements that form these particular things into a reality that we can
relate to. They justify their existence. Our existence. They provide sense to
the world.
But there
are certain things in life that cannot be explained, that are not solidified in
the eyes of science (or reasoning for that matter)
and that somehow make more
sense than sense itself.
When
music and joy connect an entire gaggle of people, into one fantastic bunch of
happy, free and dancing souls, and you whisper thankyou to no one and everyone
at once.
Gratitude.
When you
have no mattress or even a yoga mat to sleep on, in a tent pitched
semi-purposefully, in a field filled with wandering gypsy kids and a few too
many prickly plants, but the grass is so thick and soft it creates the ultimate
bed for you, free from effort.
Joy.
When you
turn up brown from the sun and the dirt, with a tangled dread-lock in your mane,
in a city you feel like tiny child in, and your friends (the most kind-hearted
ones of all) look at you with eyes that say: I needed you here, how did you
know?
Perfect
timing.
When the
daylight seems gloriously endless, just like the conversation, and you look at
a mural on a bedroom wall, and you realise that no matter where or when or who
we are, you are with me and I am with you.
Peace.
When your
flesh and blood pours their heart out to your ears and the night air, and you
both know that some words don’t need to be said.
Acceptance.
When the
sides of your mouth can’t help but break into a smile, and your tummy is
crammed with excited butterflies, all because of something quite scruffy but
ultimately beautiful.
Bliss.
Although
these things cannot be explained through theories or calculations, research or
processes of elimination, they are as clear as the first light of day.
Clear as
the call of a lone wolf howling.
Clear as the reason we strive to be better.
Life and
all it’s delightful events don’t always need to be explained. They can’t always
be put into boxed categories with set rules. But that doesn’t mean you can’t
find clarity in those un-describable happenings.
Because
sometimes in life, it’s the unexplainable that will open your eyes.
It’s the
unexplainable that will set you free.
PEACE X
Love it will not dismay you
Betray or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be.
