What lies ahead

As our breath renews and the year ends, we look ahead with optimism and with hope but if we pause the cause of such thought, we look in within and ask the question, ‘who is it that asks’, freezing us in time, since our awareness never changes even though we age and our values shift, as we flow through life, so though we know not, our single desire, is to imbibe truth of who we are, which some call the soul and others spirit or non-dualists refer to as Self, being the light, that illumines our consciousness moment to moment, all moments entwined in space-time.
