Light at the End of the Tunnel.

...

I am still waiting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Today as I was driving out to fetch the kids and as I was stuck between cars waiting for the traffic to move on, I looked up at the sky above which was getting dark and gloomy showing sign of rain to come.

It was just after 12 noon and as always it was supposed to be hot and humid. But not today it wasn't.

As I was looking at it I was telling myself that the formation of the dark clouds in the sky above resembled all my trials and tribulations that I have had to endure for the past months. I told myself that the worst has happened - or has it?

Just like the clouds above me, I really felt that I have not passed this dreadful stage yet. I was fully aware that I was not out of the woods yet, so to speak.

I told myself that if I were in a plane above those dark gloomy clouds at that time I was certain the plane would be shaking hard experiencing turbulence as the plane flew hitting those clouds. Yes, I knew how it would have felt and I could imagine me strapped in my seatbelt and praying hard for the worst to be over.

But then among those dark gloomy clouds I suddenly saw a small opening that looked like a hole in a doughnut. In that hole there was a vision of a clear blue sky. And suddenly it struck me. To me it was like a sign or a message to remind me that if we believe and we hold on to our faith in no matter how bad the circumstances be - I would surely see the light at the end of the tunnel. And this light will guide me to escape from the darkness of the tunnel.

Wow! I know the above may sound too dramatic but considering that today is Friday which is the end of the working days for the week I could be forgiven for doing so that is being alittle dramatic.

Yes. I do believe in the light at the end of the tunnel because I have seen it. Many times before when I was stuck in a predicament I kept telling myself to relax and wait for the light at the end of the tunnel.

And I always believe that the light at the end of the tunnel, when you see it and follow it, it will lead you out of the tunnel. In other words it could not be worse than where you are which is in a tunnel.

Come to think of it, I think our life is a journey through a tunnel and as a Muslim I do believe that at the end of the tunnel would be the entrance of the Hereafter where it will be an eternal place for me and not this world.

However until and unless I reach the end of the tunnel I must ensure that I am fit and able to progress further to reach my final destination that is the very end of the tunnel.

Come to think of it, we all come from a 'tunnel of love' and especially for men when we are big enough our desire would be to look for another 'tunnel of love' where through it our offspring shall be produced and they too will reproduce through another tunnel of love.

Wow! Life is great and if you don't get what I am saying above that's okay because I am doing this writing just to pour out what I have in my mind and heart.

Have a nice weekend!
