When we have a sense of clarity in our minds we feel more at ease.  There is something satisfying to the mind about knowing what or for what purpose something is.  When an experience is pellucid we know what to do with it, how to interpret it and how to move forward. Unfortunately, most of life is not transparent.  In fact, we are simultaneously grateful and suspicious of transparent people and situations. Pellucidness makes it seem too easy. We like to complicate things.  We have a sense of satisfaction when we are able to figure out what is really going on.  Yet we do not like it when people or situations are not what they appear to be as though we are being played a fool.  It is a wonder we allow ourselves to make peace with reality with all the shenanigans we create in our minds.  Finding a space of pellucidness with our hearts is what can bring our mind into alignment.  If we are transparent within ourselves we at least know where we stand.  We know who we are and what we can and cannot do.  It is a lifetime of discovery to get to a space of peace with the truth of who we are but the more pellucid we can be, the more honest we can be, and the smoother the path.  It is not easy to face the parts of ourselves we do not like, yet the more we allow them to surface, the more we know from which we are operating.  The pellucidness of our dark side enables us to invite our heart to see it for what it really is, a side lacking a true sense of love and belonging.  This is why on my daily dates, God does not up and run when I make room for my darker sides.  God stays with me when I feel intense anger, when I am full of self-loathing, or just don’t think anything has changed.  God show me how not to abandon myself when my shadows become pellucid. God invites all of us to be pellucid with our shadows so we can show them the power of love.
