The Challenges Of Life That Come To Us All

 
How do any of us know what approaches?

How can any of us tell what is just around the next corner?

Life is a series of lightness and darkness; we have all experienced both of these.
Happiness and sadness are an expression of emotion; so easily can these lines be blurred.

Our lives are but a grain of sand; we shimmer in the sunlight, and have no sparkle in the darkness. To the horizons do we look, searching for a new dawn.
What dawns upon us, in a new sunrise.

We try to control our lives, we try to best do so; how much of our lives do we actually control? The beat of our heart, the flicker of our eyes; what do we control in our lives?
A new direction can be sought, can be found; people turn inward to themselves, trying to find direction.

The world we now live in, is full of dark corners; how do we shine a light upon them, and pull ourselves from melancholy?

The bleakness of the future beckons us in, it tries to encase us in our darkest thoughts; only we can choose to escape that darkness.
Are we guided, are we shown, can we be led? Can we find it within ourselves, or those that are close around us? Can people come together, and find sanctuary in good company?

A stranger, is a friend we have not met yet; and a friend could be a new light, or a new doorway, opening.
For many, self-support is not within them; for many, a steadying hand is what is needed.

Can we reach out and touch others? Can we offer strength and stability? Is it within any of us to put someone before ourselves?

Life’s doorway is open just a crack; all it needs is a shard of light, all it needs is a new hope, all it takes is for people to believe in themselves; and a new dawn, and a new generation can step out of the darkness and into the light.
