I have found a path, but no one will walk with me. I am tired of the lies and self deception I have been living all my life. I am disorientated and confused.

To discover the truth for which I am seeking, I must walk the path alone. I take my first steps along the path with my courage cowering inside me.

The pathway looks menacing and the mist up ahead is dark and thick. My journey along the path is wrought with problems, for the path is a hard task master.

I cannot see where I’m going, and soon I stumble and fall away from the path. A stranger appears from the dark mist and helps me up. As I dusted myself down and started on my thank you, the stranger has disappeared.

How odd the stranger should appear when I needed help. Where did the stranger come from and go to? With these questions in mind I managed to scramble back on to the path.

After a period of time I forgot all about the stranger, for life is treating me well. I rarely stumble from the path now. Then I made the mistake of taking life for granted and now I have completely lost the path.

Life has dealt me a bad hand, for the one I love has gone. My life has been ripped apart and the floods of tears refuse to stop. I cannot move, for I am paralysed to the spot. I am in total despair.

Time is passing and I am still there, refusing to move. In shear desperation I cry out for help, and the stranger appears.

This time the stranger guides me on to the path, and directs me towards the mist. Then the stranger smiles, turns and disappears.

Through the mist I see a tiny light glowing in the darkness, And as I move closer guided by the light the pathway becomes brighter and I know deep down inside me I have found what I have been searching for.

The dark mist has gone, and I never did walk the path alone. For I discovered that, truth is Spirit. I am the truth, for I am Spirit, and if I am Spirit, I must be the guiding light.

But throughout my life of blindness and ignorance, I simply forgot to switch the light on. Now I walk the path. Not in fear, disorientation, confusion or despair but in understanding, compassion, peace and love.

I do not walk the path alone anymore. Occasionally I stop to help someone who has stumbled from the path.
I smile, turn and disappear.
