Have you ever thought that life is like a day? They both have a beginning and ending. They both start with the unfilled promise, move through the bright light of discovery and end with darkness.
Those of us who each day explore, look forward to the next one. If we don't we fear the night and what it brings. I think this is a good allegory of our lives. If we reach out to others, if we explore ourselves and our world, we don't fear the coming of night as it is only a transition to our next day. If we hide in ourselves, find blame in others, and fear failure we will cower from the night.
My best friends Mother-in-Law passed away this week, she lived a full and loving life, her passing was peaceful as she looked forward to the next day, wherever it may be. I hope we all can live in fulfillment of our destiny, looking forward to the next day.
"Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either." Helen Keller
