Like so many others, I have been so very lost the past couple years. Covid and everything that has followed, seems to have darkened each and every day. The pain, the sorrow, the unknown is all that seems to be all around us. The light that once was bright for many of us, now seems to be a distant memory. Instead we are constantly worried about what bad news will follow once we join the real world shortly after waking. Will there be another outbreak, will there be another deadly event or will there be something new that will cause us fear that wasn’t there the day before?
With all of this all around us, how are we to find the light, the joy, the brightness that was once there? I wish I could answer those questions, but at the moment, I am still just as lost as the next person. The path I once could see and knew so well, seems like a distant memory. My hope is that as I write, I will remember what once was. Yes, I will be forever changed by the events that have transpired and still do each day. However, my goal of writing is to use these to remind me that there is still light, there is still good and those will prevail over the darkness that has set in. It is there, somewhere. I just need to find it once again.
