20 January

When, at any given moment, the stars begin to shine, and all around is brilliant bright, and answers arrive to drive one forward on one’s quest to be a conqueror of doubt, these are moments when one must needs bottle this essence for all, and savour every breath which takes in all one can explore.

And yes, these moments do exist, far fewer than we’d like, but there they are for picking, if one can focus right. But all too often there is only glum and grey skies hued, and everywhere one looks one only sees what’s always been before. But look at your horizon, the one you, everyday, acknowledge as the all you know, and see it in a different way.

There lies hidden, all about, such fragments of the new, hints and clues of what awaits you when you take to new horizons without fear, and leave the past behind. You control the vista now, and carve out future times.

So if you cannot yet see these fragments of which we speak, then use your keen imagination to greet you with a better option, and colour it with your smile, as broadly as a grin of childhood, innocent and wild. And envision for yourself the all of which you’ve dreamed, and find that wanting in the scope of all you see on screen.

For it is true that life’s illusion is before you now; so why not make it better, more fitting to your inner goal. And, at the very least, there will emerge a brighter spark, not perhaps a star above, but something more akin to greater life within yourself. And this in turn will send a message brighter to another who has yet to pen their own dream in mind, but having seen your light come near, will gain the confidence to step out with bold intentions to recreate their new frontier.
