Looking through the fog

inspiration, Motivational, prompts, Quotes for life

Fog, be it real or mental, obscures our vision.

Today Marsha, the host of WQWWC asks us to share our views about FOG in light of quotes.

“The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.”

– Van Morrison.

When the mind doesn’t sees what the eyes behold 
A confusion of thoughts limits our field of vision 
In this temporary blindness we think that we are powerless 
And sometimes surrender to the circumstances without struggle 
A little pause to reflect 
A time to let things settle 
Often give us the clarity that we desperately seek

“There it is, fog, atmospheric moisture still uncertain in destination, not quite weather and not altogether mood, yet partaking of both.”

– Hal Borland.

Fog is lost in uncertainty of its nature 
It has no clue if it’s a cloud or just moisture 
This confusion is enough to mislead others too
Is it a mist, a vapor, or just a passing cloud?

We put labels on everything, and tend to think of things in black and white. Life is full of shades of grey. There are many realities between the two extremes. A foggy day illustrates to us how things look from a blurred perspective.

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  5. Great quotes, Sadje.

    These lines spoke to me as I’m coming out of the fog of the last three months. Beautiful!

  7. I must admit I found it amusing that you used a Van Morrison quote. I love his music but his anti vax rantings certainly indicate a fog in someone’s mind
