"I will rather walk alone in the light
than to live in the dark."
Lailah Gifty Akita
When the word journey appears, one does not immediately visualize down town New York City nor a singular pilgrimage up Mount Kilimanjaro. Everyone may have a different vision of a journey. It is true we can meet each other during a journey, and journey together for a while, but ultimately we travel alone whether physically or spiritually.
The length of the journey can last multiple life times or in a single meditation or an elaborate dream. The physical aspects of our surroundings may contribute to the total experience, but the journey itself has greater significance than our comprehension may absorb.
Our personal journeys can be challenging but they are opportunities to uncover our strengths, passions, and value. It is a stretch in time to relate to our spiritual aspirations rather than our physical accumulations. It often times calls for us to walk in solitude but the wick of our flame will be within us to help light the way. To walk with my light in solitude through shadows will always be preferable to walking in the darkness ever again.
