one more step

i received a beautiful and timely card in the mail with a very wise and encouraging quote!  the quote is from nancy bieber, who practices professional decision making and spiritual discernment.

the image on the card is of a lantern shining light into the darkness.

"friend, you are standing in darkness and you can't see the way forward.  but you have a lantern in your hand that gives enough light to take one step.  when you take that step, your lantern moves with you.  it illuminates one more step.  you will always have the lantern, and there will always be one more step.  what is your next step?"
