despair

Sometimes I'm engulfed by the darkness of despair and the sun's rays no longer penetrate my heart. I don't know how I'll survive. I don't know what will work. When that happens I remind myself that the blackness always recedes. A way through always emerges. I'm old enough and have been through it enough that I believe it now.

I walk the path I'm on even if the landscape seems barren. I pick turn path or that as best I can. Sometimes I have to lie down in the middle of the road and I do that. Eventually I start walking again, if only to hurt differently. Sooner or later I round the next bend or crest the hill before me. And I realize the darkness is less and I can see my next steps.

That's me. Your mileage may vary but my advice? Keep walking.
