The night is dark and punctuated with wind and storms that blow through with heavy rain and hail. You keep going because you have to. There are others also on the road trying to find their way. Sometimes it is so dark you can’t even see the road. Someone takes your hand and you hear them say.... “This way”. You have reached back and done the same for another. The incline gets steeper but that is an indication to you that you are getting close to your destination. And yes, you can see a dim light low to the horizon, in front of you. You top the crest of the hill and the light is brighter. Stumbling, you pull yourself up and see a stretch of road in front of you, only this road is wide and smooth. Others are scrambling up around you and behind and are seeing the same thing. You hear someone call out, “look there are people coming toward us.” and yes, you see them. The dawn is brighter behind them but you can see that they come toward you with open arms, welcoming. One in particular seems to be coming directly to you... and that person is calling your name. Then you are in their arms, in an embrace and they are whispering in your ear, “Welcome, I am so proud of you, You made it.” You realize you have been met by your future self. “Come with me”, your future self says, taking your hand. “ Your future is bright and there are many wonderful things in store for you.” Together you and your future self walk into the light of the new dawn.
This new dawn is waiting for you. It will take some time but there is a beautiful, peaceful future ahead for us and those we leave behind. Take the hand of your future self and march unafraid into the dawn of a new day.
