When the Smoke Clears.

I've heard people say that hindsight vision is 20/20. I've come to see this as true, at least in respect to MY life experiences. As good of an idea as something once seemed, in retrospect you realize that not only was it a stupid thing to do, but that there were flashing neon signs alerting you to the stupidity all along!
I'm thankful for that moment of clarity. When the smoke clears and you can see a situation for what it is? Without all hype and loudness and diversions? That's when epiphanies bring you back down to where you belong. That's something I look forward to. Sometimes we add so many supporting details to our story that we forget the main idea.
