We woke up this morning and could not see a thing outside our windows. A think dense fog has descended. The sun is bravely attempting to cut through but with limited luck.
Looking out through the window or from the balcony – with my cup of strong coffee – is how I begin most days. When I am thus armed with a rejuvenating cup of coffee, I stare into the world with a faraway expression, seeking answers to life’s big questions, or also, on occasion, thinking about the mundanities of everyday life.
Today, as the aroma of coffee teases my nostrils, I stare into the thick whiteness of the fog. No questions come to me, my mind is empty and bereft of thought. I feel closed in.
It reminds me of life sometimes; where we feel locked in by various problems and are unable to see through all our mental clutter to what lies ahead in the future.
But just as this fog will clear in sometime, life has its own way of clearing up things for us. The key is to keep taking the next few steps, and to keep going.
