Seeing Clearly

“I Can See Clearly Now”

by Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now, the rain is 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 (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin’ for
It’s gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day

Look all around, there’s nothin’ but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin’ but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is 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 (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
Oh, what a bright, (bright)
Sun-shiny day

For your consideration….

We have been given this song before (I think) but it does not matter. We are being given it again for a very specific reason.

As we learned about Mercury Retrograde yesterday, we learned that this is like a forced time out. It is a time where we reexamine things. It is a time where we see things we may have missed.

Today’s message tells us that it is important to remember to NOT JUDGE. For example, we see something we missed. Rather than judge and beat ourselves up for missing it, we can be grateful we have been given this opportunity to see it now. We need to remember that everything is in Divine Timing.

Also, we are reminded that external communication is tough during Mercury Retrograde but internal communication is crystal clear. Yes, while all the external noise is scrambled, our internal voices become much clearer. Our Guidance has an easier time communicating with us.

Listen without judgment.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Be still and listen to our authentic self.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-A lazy day.

-The rain held off long enough to get the lawn mowed. It is sooo green and sooo beautiful.

-Jody is coming to visit. I was excited all day that we got our “miscommunication” resolved before it was too late for her to get a good plane-fare.

-Talking with Alex the conversation went like this:

Me, “I’m having a hard time getting someone to pick up our old sofa for donation.”

Alex, “Put it on Craig’s List.”

“I did. I have gotten any responses.’

“That’s weird. How much did you ask?”

“$50”

“You did something wrong. Did you click on the link they send you after you submit the ad?”

“No.”

“Then your ad didn’t get posted.

I went back and found the email. Clicked on the link and within 1 hour had 3 responses of people wanting to come today.” Color me grateful and happy.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
