So often choices in life are presented as an either-or. It makes sense given that we live in a universe of duality that the easiest thing would be to pick one or the other. The longer I am around in this game of life the more I see between the choices. I see levels and nuances that exist when making room at least in some way for both. It is as though it is less of either or and more of and. How much do we value the light when we have been in the dark? How much more grateful we are for freedom when we have had to experience imprisonment? It is as though there is a spectrum of reality and depending on what we are focusing on we see the flaws or the features. They both exist simultaneously, so our choice is based on what we want or need to focus on at the moment. It is not about how to be rid of one. Over time a feature can become a flaw and vice versa. It becomes about a creative lens and an awareness of what end of the spectrum is drawing our attention. God invites us to embrace the creativity of our minds in helping us to know where to focus on our attention when it comes to making choices in our lives. Just because we choose to focus on the flaw does not mean we have to rid ourselves of it. Perhaps the reason it is in our awareness is to bring the creative spirit of our hearts to adjust the lens through which we are seeing it. Our hearts may be knocking on the door of our minds to shift our perspective to how we can bring the flaw into the light and see its features.
Are we open to broadening the spectrum of sight the lens of our hearts illuminates for us when we are looking at our flaws today?
