I want to share with you an experience I had this past week which caused me to think about our vision and the clarity in our lives.
I had a little bit of eye surgery to inprove my vision and the clouding in one of my eyes. As I saw the world with such crispness and clarity, it reminded me of the song by Johnny Nash, "I Can See Clearly Now."
When you truly listen to the lyrics of the song it discusses how he can see clearly now – all the rain is gone. Well I changed the lyrics just a little. I can see clearly now, all the clouds are gone. But let’s go deeper into the song and the meaning and how it can impact our own life.
Listen up for a minute. Now remember, I cannot and don’t sing but here are some of the words…..Coach Maria’s Version
I can see clearly now; the clouds are gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright, bright sun shiny day.
I was singing that song all day. As I looked at the crevices of the surrounding alluvial mountains with such crispness and the blue sky’s vibrancy I kept singing and smiling. Everything was so vivid. I was thrilled that I don’t have to wear my glasses.
The song is about hope and courage for people who have experienced adversity in their lives but have later overcome it. It’s about looking forward to a brighter future. It is the epitome of a feel good, positive vibe song.
