Visibility. Being present when the entire picture presents the story. How often do we rewrite the beginning middle and end? To stay away from a moment playing out because it doesn’t fit into what we see fit. Dictionary.com defines visibility as the distance once can see as determined by light and weather conditions. No wonder people hate having a nightmare! The sun sets and the fear begins to build. I live in a forest. I’ve had an incredible relationship with this collection of trees for 29 years. I’ve never walked through this forest at night. Even with a flashlight I have limited visibility. Not going to happen. As a third degree black belt in martial arts we aren’t trained to attack the enemy but rather to steer clear of the possible danger. I am to be aware of all things around me. How many of us truly trust what we can’t see in darkness? The decision is to stay away from doubt. Once we enter an area where we can see again, the main mission is to stay with what we know. So yes I do rewrite the beginning middle and end. I don’t find favor in having a lack of visibility. Awareness is the needle in the haystack.
