Lantern in the Mist: On Walking Through Uncertainty

Sometimes the path ahead is nothing but fog and questions.

You can’t see the ending, or even the next turn—just a few trembling steps in front of you.

But here’s the secret:

You don’t have to see the whole road to keep moving.

Courage isn’t always a roar.

Sometimes it’s the quiet act of putting one foot in front of the other,

Trusting that the ground will rise to meet you,

That the mist will thin,

That hope is a lantern you carry, not a place you arrive.

If you’re lost right now, or afraid, or just tired—

Know this:

You’re not alone.

We’re all finding our way, one gentle step at a time.
