I am sitting by the sea, silky smooth water gently touching the rocky shore. All my life is behind me. I am grateful for where it has led me so far. All my life is ahead of me. Like in the open sea, there are infinite paths I can take.

As pleasant as sitting at the shore is, I know I can’t stay here forever. I don’t know what will happen if I start walking; nobody ever does. I know I must go, as stagnation is unnatural. I know I don’t want to follow anyone else’s path if I don’t want to live someone else’s life. It’s time to trust that the sun will bless my path in its glorious, warm amber light.

My path leads onto the sea, and I know I will walk on water; I’m fiercely following my heart. May we all be blessed with our own paths to light and our true selves.
