Day 086a: Following the Guides of Light … (July 09, 2019)

Setting off once more in yet another pre-dawn darkness, I realized with great clarity that – in times of uncertainty, doubt, or confusion – it is only wise to follow the lights that lead one forward along The Way, never the ones that tempt one to remain safely behind …

Often when we have convinced ourselves that we are on the right track because we desperately want to believe that a specific direction offered is the ‘better’ one (more often than not because it is one more comfortable or rewarding), both one’s Soul and the Universe itself will not only loudly disagree with that particular decision, but will – if it is looked for earnestly – ever offer the traveler a far more potent (if not also far more arduous) path. Always dismiss the former and ever take the latter – for this is ever The Way.” ~ inspired by Miya Yamanouchi

The strongest people ever find the courage to set forth to care for others, especially while they are traveling through their own darkness, and especially when they are otherwise deeply tempted to stay home.” ~ via Roy T. Bennett
