Let your eyes look directly forwards, and your gaze be straight before you.

Keep straight the path of your feet and all your ways will be sure.

“Enough light for the next step” by Henri Nouwen

 

Often we want to be able to see into the future.  We say, “How will next year be for me? Where will I be five or ten years from now?” There are no answers to these questions.  Mostly we have just enough light to see the next step: what we have to do in the coming hour, or the following day. The art of living is to enjoy what we can see and not complain about what remains in the dark.  When we are able to take the next step with the trust that we will have enough light for the step that follows, we can walk through life with joy and be surprised at how far we go.  Let’s rejoice in the little light we carry and not ask for the great beam that would take all shadows away.
