The Light at the End of the Tunnel
"Due to the energy shortage, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off."
How funny is that bumper sticker?!
But really-how shocking would that be?! How would we know if we were crossing into the light or into the dark? Upstairs or downstairs? The rays of sunshine that seem to greet near deathers could fade away into the dreary fog...if the spiritual energy igniting the flames of burning Love were too weak...muted by the mighty call of the wild--and wonderful world we all revel in down here.
Think about it. Sometimes we take for granted that God is going to be there--waiting endlessly for our fannies to march to a different drummer. We seem to think we have all the time in the world...until the next world...to make our mark...even when the messes we make-mess up the important milestones we're supposed to meet.
I've never seen the light--at the end of the tunnel I mean--but I've interviewed people who have been there-and lived to tell about it...Unanimously they agree- the light is brilliant and peaceful and warmly inviting...compelling, yet never distant...drawing the soul ever closer to the embraceable wisdom that this is what it's all about...They almost never want to return to this life...once they've been given a glimpse of the next.
So seize the moment...live your life to the fullest...Love the ones you're with...and never let the energy shortage drain your resolve--to keep the home fires burning--Because when the lights go out...it gets really dark and it's hard to see what has been right in front of our faces -all along.
