In To the Night

In to the night I wondered, hopelessly looking for that one hint of truth, that spiritual essence that would help me discover who and what I really am. Who am I? What am I? What should I do? Who should I be with? Where should I go to fully understand my destiny and purpose in life? Then, as if succumbed by glimmering wisdom it occurred to me; the journey itself was the map of truth. It beckoned the path, that perfect azimuth that would lead to the unsolved mystery of who and what I really am. It was only then that I resolved to relax and enjoy the journey. It would be a trip through life’s peaks and valley’s. En-route I would witness the construction of a life time of memories as I patiently waited for my destiny to unfold. The end of the journey was clouded in mystery but I sensed its end would come much too soon. Even if I ventured through more of life’s valleys’ then peaks I would still be grateful for having had the opportunity to take the trip, and I would ultimately cherish the promised enlightenment that comes only, in to the night, at journey’s end.
