Skittles:Looking at the world without a lense

I'm always wearing my glasses.  Even when I go swimming.  Looking at the world brought into focus, not only by my understanding of the systems of oppression, but with an actual bais tent caused by the glass in front of my eyes.  I took my glasses off to clean them and saw the world how I do for only a few seconds a day. Just taking my glasses off and looking at the world around me was nice.  I wish I could do that with everything in my life. The world doesn't seems so bad when it's just irregular moving shapes. Everything has soft fuzzy edges and the few lines there are don't seem that hard, or wrong, to cross. The details just fall away and all that's left is colors and blobs. All the violence just seems like shapes merging togther like a triangle and a circle making ice cream. Death looks like things loosing their color and becoming black or white.  The simplicity of it all is beautiful.  Ignorance just needs to be focused through the right lens.
