Diving into the unknown can seem
powerfully overwhelming
like plunging into murky water on a cloudy day
when the depths are obscured and it is not possible to
see with certainty where you are heading
but for brief moments the sun breaks through
and illuminates what lies ahead of you with sparkling clarity
such that you feel connected to the past, present, and future
somehow all at once
and know that it is ok to put your feet in the water
and maybe to even jump right in
because you are aware that your eyes are not closed
but that they are open
and while they may be unable to see
a clear vision of the future
they do catch an occasional glimpse of the paths that lie before you
and in your heart you know this is enough
and find that from it you can draw incredible strength
to move forward with fervor
and reach your dreams
with the distinct knowledge that they can be transformed into realities.
