Day 116 "The Best Ending"

Where are we going? Where will we end up? What happens next?

These heavy questions are always met with both apprehension and fear; these impossible questions that are also always met with hope.

I know the journey ahead will take us far away from home, and we will have to leave the most important things behind if we hope to walk unencumbered.

Nothing will prepare us for the futures we travel to more than an open mind.

We are the children of the universe, the sons and daughters of the world itself, and if you ever felt alone, you never were.

The ones that you know, the ones that you knew, and the ones that you have yet to meet are on the map that you carry with you.

How long will I be gone?

How many times will I trip?

How many times will I find myself looking back?

Even more heavy questions to potentially carry with you, and even more reason to try to let these questions go as soon as you can.

Even with our universal knowledge, we may forget to remember our connections, and we might even lose the light of our northern star.

We might even lose the memory of home itself.

The map we look at forever changes and has endless points of interest.

The map we carry with us does not always feel as light as paper, sometimes it is as heavy as our hearts.

Time moves forward even if you choose to stand in place.

Time The Thief steals everything it can as you make the safest plans for the road ahead.

With all these heavy questions, all these fears that threaten to drown us, and the small flicker of hope to guide our next step; we can only tell the universe that we hope for the best ending this time around.
