Follow the light
There was once a traveler walking alone in the darkness. The path they chose was mysterious, winding, and uncertain, with a silence so profound it seemed to fill the air. The traveler saw nothing but deep darkness ahead—a void that swallowed every step in uncertainty. Yet something caught their eye—single lamps placed along the road, their warm light breaking through the gloom and inviting them forward.
When the traveler reached the first lamp, a wave of relief washed over them. The light embraced them like the arms of a friend. In its glow, everything seemed simple and clear, as if the darkness and fear had never existed. Beneath the lamp, all they could see was goodness—their dreams, hopes, love, and peace. Even their shadow disappeared, hiding somewhere behind them, out of sight. But the traveler knew this light was only a resting place. The lamp was a beginning, not a destination.
In the distance, faint points of light from other lamps glimmered. They were far away, but visible—a promise that the path, though challenging, led to something greater. So, the traveler pressed on.
As they moved away from the light, their shadow reappeared. This time, it was enormous, distorted, and filled with shapes they couldn’t understand. The traveler paused, disoriented. The shadow seemed alive, mocking every step they took. Fear gripped the traveler’s heart as the shadow whispered, “I am here because you created me.” The traveler looked at their hands and realized it was true. The shadow had been with them all along, a reflection of their fears and insecurities—everything they struggled to accept about themselves.
For a moment, they stood still, staring at the shadow. The longer they focused on it, the weaker they felt. Their heart slowed, and hope began to fade. But then, the traveler lifted their gaze. Far ahead, they saw another lamp, glowing warmly, as if calling out: “I am here. Come to me.” And in that instant, they understood. The shadow exists only when we turn away from the light. When we look toward the lamp, focusing on what is good and bright, the shadow loses its power.
The traveler continued walking. Every step toward the light was a step toward hope. When they reached the next lamp, they felt peace once again. This light was different—it taught them courage, reminded them of love, and revealed the strength that lay in each forward step. Yet this lamp, too, was just a part of the journey. More lights awaited them.
Over time, the traveler stopped fearing their shadow. They realized it was part of the path, a proof that light was always near. Each lamp they reached brought something new—wisdom, serenity, and sometimes challenges—but always guided them forward.
Eventually, the traveler discovered something extraordinary. The light that had guided them wasn’t just coming from the lamps. It was within them as well. Their heart, full of love, faith, and perseverance, became another lamp—one that lit the way not only for themselves but for others.
And so, the traveler walked on, from lamp to lamp, from light to light. They no longer sought safety alone but became a light for others. For that is the purpose of the journey—not only to see the light ahead but to find it within ourselves.
