For me the warm glow of the sun, most specifically during sunset, helps me to feel calm and reassured. The exhaustion from the day is eased as I feed and fill myself on the beautiful moment of light. The worries and the frustrations and the doubts of the day are lessened and the emptiness that has gathered is filled. My mind empties and then I simply breathe and bask in this little comfort. This moment is the time when a little bit of hope returns. Hope is an anchor. Hope is the only thing that keeps one holding on. Once that hope is lost, that is the time of surrender. That hope, no matter how small must be kept within the heart, or else, if surrendered, like a ship cut from its anchor, the ship of the heart will be lost. .
I think about my path now and again, but when I try to see it I can only see what I have previously travelled or left behind. Like walking backwards, I constantly watch the path behind, unable to see in front of me what I have. I stumble and fall because I am not willing to turn around and face the path before me. I am almost afraid to look at it until it has passed me by. However, then I regret that I was not able to enjoy each step and prepare for what I was progressing towards. Light is ahead, and also darkness, but each step reveals something that was unknown before, and I am able to bit by bit understand my heart.
