Join Me on a Journey

The journey of life — It rushes by. I blinked and time vanished. But amid this rush, the road is also long. Frost’s tale speaks truth yet today,

 “And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

It’s crowded, but somehow lonely. It is full; it is empty. Beauty and ashes war for the final word.

I’m fulfilled and alive. Purpose, destiny and desire rush at me like a wave that carries me far out into a glorious sea! I’m now lost and drowning in that sea of destiny and desire, smothered by despondency. I’m weary of these deep waters. How did I get here?

BUT I’M NOT LOST. I’m just on a journey. Sometimes the journey takes the highland road through the mountains, full of clarity and perspective and bold sunshine on the grassy slopes.

And sometimes the journey takes the valley road. The path disappears into a dark place. I step tentatively, one foot forward at a time. Will the sunshine never return? Will the next step bring more pain?

But wait, yes. Yes. That was the sound of a bird singing her morning song. The dark of the night is waning, the forest is thinning, and the path reappears. Hope.

Come and journey with me?
