Darkness

Sometimes the world seems dark. The future, bleak.

Change that can seem exciting one day may appear troubling the next.

Where does it all lead? How can I keep up?

These are questions I find myself returning too. An oscillation between exhilaration and despair.

I have no answers.

But I have faith.

Faith that if I keep going, something I cannot predict will happen. If I remain open to it, I know the unexpected can be my ally.

Faith that if I keep going, others will be alongside me, figuring things out together, becoming something greater than the sum of the parts.

Faith that if I keep going, I will be able to look back with pride and know that, despite it all, I persevered.

So I keep going. And I keep growing.

Like a plant, in darkness, reaching towards the light.
