clean screen

I just cleaned the screen of our computer for the first time in ages. Suddenly everything seeems so bright and clear! It's the same feeling you get when you go in for new glasses or contacts. When you walk out with the updated pair the whole world looks crisp. The colors are brighter, all edges look sharp and defined. You wonder to yourself how things could be so much improved, and why you didn't do this sooner. Seeing clearly seems to heighten all senses. Things smell stronger, seem more real, sound clearer, and a person feels more alive. It's a metaphor for life- how easy it is to get bogged down by all this gunk clouding up our vision. Then suddenly, if we wipe it away, we can start really living again...enjoying the beauty of life. I've had some gunk bogging me down lately. I can't even really put my finger on exactly what it is. Just an assorted mix of thoughts and bad feelings that have been preventing me from the rich, full, joyful living I desire. So today, I am seriously making an effort to wipe my mind clean.
