Gray

Gray


Sometimes, I lose my vision. I see, but what I see is not what I'm looking at.

I often find myself kneeling, empty-handed, in an endless, limitless sea of pitch black emptiness.

I try to see my hands, but an unyielding darkness fills the space between and around us.

I feel alone. And lost. With nothing to hold onto. Nowhere to go.

There's no hope in this place. There's not anything, really. It's just me. And the darkness.

Me. Floating and kneeling in the darkness, trying to see my hands.

Just me in the darkness trying to see the nothingness inside of my hands.



But what if what I have always perceived as nothing is actually everything?

What if, from the very spot I kneel, countless untouched pathways are hovering, waiting to be discovered?

What If, all around me, exist endless journeys and innumerable opportunities?

What if just a single step would illuminate one path among millions. One in a million. A million in one.

What if one step will bring brightness into the far off distance? And – dare I say it – a hope for the future?

What if I stop worrying about trying to see my hands with my eyes, and let my heart lead my feet to where they might find solid ground?

Any road. Any opportunity. What if it all starts with just one step?

If I take one step and nothing happens, then it's nothing gained and nothing lost.

But if I stay where I am – if I don't take a step – I could, potentially, lose everything.
