A Light for the Journey

“ a closing letter to send you onward with hope in your hands “

Dear friends

If you’ve walked with me through these last lot of letters, you’ve lit a path not only for yourself, but for others too.

You’ve dared to hold the lamp through shadowed places, to tend it with grace, to offer it gently, to believe perhaps for the first time in a long time that it is enough.

So here, at the quiet close of this collection, I want to bless the journey ahead of you.

Because hope is not a destination. It’s a way of walking.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

— Psalm 119:105

You will not always see far ahead.

But you will see enough.

Enough for the next step.

Enough for the choice to keep going.

Enough for love to meet you where you are.

May you carry your lamp with tenderness.

Let it swing softly from your hand not as a burden, but as a quiet witness that you have walked through the dark and did not lose your light.

And if ever the path grows dim again as it sometimes will may you remember this:

You are not alone.

You are not forgotten.

And there is always a light sometimes in you, sometimes ahead of you, sometimes beside you in the form of another soul carrying their own small flame.

Keep walking, beloved one.

Hope walks with you.

Always,
