I start today with a dusty, I know summer is coming, sunrise. It is already hot outside. The air is gritty. One cannot see beyond the water to the island and sea beyond. I may not be able to see what is coming, yet I know it anyway. As I try to focus, I know life’s premonitions are hard to shake. In the present, everything in front of me is filled with possibilities and potential. Many things could happen. I think there is no uncertainty as everything is yet to be written.
In the larger story, the ending is certain. With my ending, I realise it will be driven by my journey and not about how my destiny and the larger one are designed to be the same. The uncertainty in a recurring question haunts me; “So, what do you get from a life of hard labour?” (Ecclesiastes 2:22). I know I cannot take the results of my hands with me. It is not clear that anything from my hand lasts. In the quietness of a dusty sunrise, Life’s whispers remind me that I am a child of Divinity, destined to be part of the family for as long as it is my choice.
In the moment, uncertainty will always be familiar. Knowing there will be decisions coming my way helps me see the doorways with freedom. I am not locked in by yesterday. I am out in the open, unshackled and holding the keys to what happens next. Whatever I do will reflect the choices of my heart and soul. I may not see what is happening except through a rearview mirror, even as the story is being revealed moment by moment. I know my vision is more precise when I embrace my calling. I have faith that courage will come to the front when I am bold. Whispers remind me that I am wiser, stronger, and more capable than I imagined because Divinity lives within me.
Life invites me outside. I have words to offer and actions to take in the heat and dust.
