Rose colored glasses is a term generally uttered with a degree of derision, most often used when it is thought that someone is being unrealistically optimistic, whether in speech or perspective.
It is sometimes interchanged with Pollyanna, alluding to the so-named fictional heroine who created the “Glad Game” as a way to put a positive spin on the difficult circumstances in her life in order to rise above them. Also spoken with disrespect, even disdain, she is referenced when someone dares to believe that the light at the end of the tunnel is not that of an oncoming train.
Not ignorant of life’s vicissitudes, my default outlook nonetheless trends positive even as the Earth School lessons of 2020 challenge the Pollyanna rose-colored-glasses-wearer in all of us.
On my walk today I saw these rose colored glasses lying in weeds near the street. Notice the butterfly in the top corner of the right lens, a symbol of transformation.
Lost? Or discarded?

Loved this essay! Guess the new term is blog… I choose to think the glasses were lost and that someone will return for them.
