I’ve been to the point where I’ve strained my eyes on the bright light to the other side.. But the closer I got the light enveloped me and slowed down my frantic forward stride… I knuckled up and flailed fists in vein, high and wide.. tired, eventually my frustration would subside.. It then dawned on me, like the sun on a newborn for the first time, that this light was all inside.. I woke up in a sweat, panicking like something was really taking place.. jumped out of bed looking for the first thing that reflected my sleepy face.. I found the image of a shaken man who had just given up a lifelong chase.. But I could see from the light in his eyes that he had just found his new faith.. Amongst all the bad in life sometimes all it takes is just a little fleeting spark… To see that everything good about you lies within your own beating heart…

The Light Inside
I’ve been to the point where I’ve strained my eyes on the bright light to the other side.. But the closer I got the light enveloped me and slowed down my frantic forward stride… I knuckled up and flailed fists in vein, high and wide.. tired, eventually my frustration would subside.. It then dawned on me, like the sun on a newborn for the first time, that this light was all inside.. I woke up in a sweat, panicking like something was really taking place.. jumped out of bed looking for the first thing that reflected my sleepy face.. I found the image of a shaken man who had just given up a lifelong chase.. But I could see from the light in his eyes that he had just found his new faith.. Amongst all the bad in life sometimes all it takes is just a little fleeting spark… To see that everything good about you lies within your own beating heart…
