CLARITY

.

.

Humans have natural foes

Like disaster and disease

We do as much as we can to forestall the consequences of these events

Well aware of the constant need for vigilance

Keeping an eye out for warnings, signs, portents

Of a problem that could occur somewhere down the road

Perhaps our greatest foe is discouragement

Which can descend on our mood mind like a thick grey fog

Of negativity and ennui

In the dense swirling mist of confusion it is easy to get lost

For familiar things to look suddenly ominous

Wandering around feeling a loss of hope, the meaning and use of time

Not seeing any of the possibilities that are present

We can be lost in the fog for a long time

However, in each heart glows the spark of hope

To reignite our inner fires

In each mind is a sense of the direction we should go

A good orderly direction we take step by step

Until we leave the Valley of the Shadow of Discouragement

Into the clear fresh air of a new day.
