Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Rae Duke, Religion and Ethics teacher and broadcaster.

I felt it was my duty to share with you all this morning that it鈥檚 actually National Sunglasses Day today.

It鈥檚 a day to celebrate our beloved sunnies, so I鈥檝e learnt, and to share the mission of UV protection. So here鈥檚 a nice bit of a fashion balanced out with some health awareness.

Discovering this important day got me thinking鈥

Because all glasses, sunshine related or not, share that feature of altering the lens through which we see the world; whether that鈥檚 by giving a bit of shade when the sun has got his hat on, correcting our eyesight itself, or even tweaking our memories with a metaphorically rose-tinted pair.

As someone with relatively bad vision, (I鈥檓 about a minus-3-point-something), I鈥檓 always so grateful each morning to pop in my contact lenses or pop on my specs.

But a new type of vision enhancer came to my attention recently after seeing an ad in a local magazine, because there鈥檚 now a pair of glasses to correct colour-blindness. (And I mean the real thing, not the affliction suffered by pop-star Darius in the early-Noughties鈥)

鈥淕ive the gift of colour鈥 鈥 the flyer read, alluring potential customers with the prospect of days and nights in all their technicolour glory.

The glasses use a new technology and, for those living with colour-blindness, wearing them can be life changing; some spoke about their moods rocketing upward as they enjoyed abundant tones.

聽Now we鈥檝e heard it many times before but perception really is everything. How we perceive the world (the lens we choose to wear), often rather than the reality itself creates our life experience.

When explaining his faith, C. S. Lewis famously said that he believed in God like he believed in the sun, 鈥渘ot because I can see it鈥, he said, 鈥渂ut because by it I can see everything else.鈥 It was his lens.

And as Oscar Wilde wrote: 鈥渨e are all in the gutter; but some of us are looking at the stars.鈥

So as you, Zoe and the prod squad, (and any lucky listeners out there) head to Glastonbury this weekend to party in musical and muddy communion, your eyes can thoroughly revel in the stages just below those stars. (And the rest of us? Well, we鈥檒l just have to rely on the camera lenses and microphones of the wonderful crews to beam all those highlights to our tellies and radios!)
