The Gift of a Tunnel

At times it feels like you are compressed between an outcrop of rocks with only one way to go and no end in sight, yet you keep moving. Having the awareness that there is more—even if unknown—that will appear.

Those periods of very focused, often slow-seeming movement may be welcomed if you use them to turn inward.

When you feel there is no choice other than the step in front of you, take it.

Keep moving with the knowing, and you will emerge at the end of the tunnel with new eyes to see the beauty in all that surrounds you. Without looking back, it may be that the tunnel was a protection from all that was occurring around you. Knowing that would make the dark times seem worth it, and help you appreciate them for what they are: a respite or intentional inner reflection to find your peace within.

New resolve, new mission, and renewed vigor for life and all it has to offer is the gift at the end of the tunnel.

Know that as you pass through, the protective walls have been holding you to a clear and deliberate path.
