Lenses

A road trip in November reveals arrays of autumnal colors.

With glasses on to shade my eyes from the sun’s glare,

I witness the brilliant hues, overwhelming me with gratitude for creation.

Such beauty, Lord!

I pull the glasses down a bit to see if those colors are real.

Very pretty, but not as brilliant.

I must admit that the shades enhance the beauty of the colors.

I put them back on to enjoy the deeper reds, oranges and yellows.

What makes them more brilliant through the sunglasses?

I don’t know, but it makes me wonder through what lenses are we seeing the world?

I don the shades of gratitude and faith.

What is your lens?
