Recollecting what i told a bald dude, that at times we walk in a dark tunnel and we don't really know where we're headed for. Anyone who's in this tunnel will be yearning for some light they'll be looking towards this distant bright spot so that there's at least a direction to head for.
The advice given by an aspiring monk-to-be was to at least have a clear path and to have a clear destination in mind or at least a target. My response was along the lines that it's not the destination that i'm concerned about, it's the voyage. Inside me i knew that the journey and what i term to be the voyage is a pathway of multiple notches.
With each notch, i came to see that within the journey was the destination. Complex as it might sound, intricate and multifaceted was this spider web. A web of intertwined learning and discovery.
Many would think that stepping into the light is the end. However, just as i was so certain that towards the 3/4 mark i would snap into this realisation which i am at now, i'm also certain that once the last few items are done and over with, walking out of the tunnel is going to present a whole new world which is going to be an experience of a deep inhaling of fresh air.
It's not about shouting and proclaiming "I SEE THE LIGHT". It's a experience that only in darkness can we find the light - a symbol of ourselves within and not a goal.
For when things are done wholeheartedly, the reward is within ourselves, the reward is ourself.
Ourself to others.
