Seeing the Light


"We are each gifted in a unique and important way.  It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light." ~Evelyn Dunbar

The last month has been very busy with much to do, decide and understand. It has been a time when I didn't know where to turn, who to trust or what to do next.  A time of both fear and relief.  Fear from not knowing what the future holds as well as relief from knowing that some things have to change... even if it's not the timing I had planned.

I've been wanting to find the light for a while... however dragging my feet, making excuses that 'after this' I'll do 'that'.  Sometimes my well intended plans happen.. sometimes they take longer than they should.  That's when I believe that 'God' kicks us out of our comfortable 'dark holes', into the light and back into life.

I'm still not completely sure about what the future holds or what and who I should trust.  However, I am getting some very strong guidance and direction whenever I crawl into my 'dark hole' of solitude.  That is were I pray, think, meditate and listen for the answers to come to me.  For a new perspective and understanding to go along with new ideas.  Seeing the light at the top of my solitary hole... opening myself up to a new and even better life.  Of that, I am sure of!
"A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways - by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul." ~Plato

  6. Even I is afraid of what the future holds for me. Whenever that thing strikes, I am really afraid but I keep holding on to the optimistic thought that everything happens for a reason.

    Everything will turn out the best result for a better person like you. Just continue in following the light.

  8. May you never be alone in your quest. Two books come to mind during such times of searching: Sue Monk Kidd, "When the Heart Waits" (which I just finished last week and am still pondering before writing a review) and M. Craig Barnes, "Yearning: LIving Between How it is and how it ought to be"
