There is a flicker of light at the end of a long tunnel. I can see it. I can feel it. I want it to get bigger, fanned with the wind of the Holy Spirit until it becomes a full blaze. Is it the beginning of another journey? The beginning of the purpose for which I was created? Maybe... or maybe it's just another step along the path.

In A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis, he talks about grief, but I think this really applies a lot to life. He says that you feel like you are moving in a circle. Everything seems the same, then you turn the corner revealing a completely different bend. The scenery may appear similar but the sequence never repeats.

And such is this life. The mundane, the everyday, even the weather. It all seems to repeat. But occasionally you turn the corner to reveal that which you have never seen or experienced. And it's those moments when you feel really alive. The veil is lifted and there is a sudden clarity. So how do I dwell there? Or is that the point? To NOT dwell there and still believe?

Proclaiming the mountain when you are still in the valley.

Pray for the flame to gain strength.
