Stars In A Darkened Sky




"The key to the future of the world is finding the hopeful stories
and letting them be known.   Pete Seeger 


Promise your lovely self not to get bogged down in the sad stories of this past year.  Write upon your   beating heart to not walk through this coming year as though it were a land mine of unforeseen disasters.   Lift your head towards the sky and deeply breathe in the goodness of life.

If you were crossing an undulating body of water in a large old ship, surely you would not ask to be placed in the bottom bellows without windows or fresh air.  You would want to travel in comfortable style, perhaps not in a grandeur way, but with enjoyable safe passage.  You would take care to secure these plans and remain focused.

The same is true with your passage through life. You must set your sails for calm winds and a strong rudder to safely stay on course.  You remain aware of some darkness in the sky, but you travel towards the compelling shades of an orange and yellow hue.  You follow your chosen map and appreciate each salty breeze.  When you stay on course, you see only stars in a darkened sky.
