How do we move forward in the face of overwhelming odds? Looking at these waves, I remember summers growing up on Lake Michigan. We loved to play in the hugh waves but often times they became too much for us and we were pulled under. Tossed and turned upside down and ending up with a lot of water in our noses. Sometimes lately this is how I am feeling and I don't think I am alone. There are so many challenges facing us and it can be difficult to believe that we will ever get to calm water again. The key for me has always been to look beyond the hugh waves and see the golden light on the horizon. I know that whatever is happening on the outside, deep inside I am being guided and cared for by the calm presence of the light. An inner peace floods me whenever I let go of being overwhelmed by the waves. I have learned to trust this feeling and allow it to become stronger then the fear. I stop, take some deep breaths and know that my strength comes from within. Thank God I don't have to count on myself to solve my problems, I have an inner guide. I know I will be tossed and turned by the waves again, but the light will always break through. "In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time."
