WHAT NOW?

Is it the end of the road?  There are times when it certainly feels like the end and all hope is gone.  I can see no way out and catastrophe is looming in the air.  I’m at a dead stop wondering what now.  Then, out of seemingly nowhere, I notice the next best step and then the next and next..  Before long I look back and see that the road has taken a turn, I look ahead and see a new stretch of road before me.  I am enlivened again with optimism and confidence.

I have learned to not trust what I feel is ‘the end’ but rather to wait with hope for the next best step, surrendering my agenda, breathing, opening my heart to whatever will come.  Believing there is a purpose to road I am on brings me comfort, a hint of promise and possibility, an ability to remain in the question, and a sense of peace.  Today, I will be reminded that each of us walks our own journey.  Where?  I don’t know but I trust the road will continue…
