Just One More Quest

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark;

the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."

Plato

The flame of a candle readily draws us in.  Our vision can become blurred as we are mesmerized by the simple light of fire.  It dances, moves in the wind or remains perfectly still, and yet we hesitate to go deeply within.

As the moon floats across a black sky, we are drawn to wonderment.  We may find ourselves thinking of our dreams.  We may be reminded of the sacred that has previously touched our lives and the follow through we never supplied.

We tend to adjust to darkness with the tools we have honed over the years, and even though the light enhances us, we begin to shy away from the promptings discovered in the light.  Maybe we just do not feel as though we can handle one more quest, but stimulation would ignite the explorer or adventurer or dreamer.  Step into the light and see where it leads.
