"Hmn. I see." He said after a long pause of contemplation.

"Yes?" I nudged, trying to maintain my breath as I wait for Him to continue. "What is it?" I asked more.

"My child," He started to say and gently put His right hand on my shoulder. "You must wait. Patience. It is everything. Don't try to make things happen fast. Learn to live for Today and not give Tomorrow all your worries. Yesterday had long been gone and try to leave it there, don't wish to relive it again for you will only be trapped."

He started walking down the sea shore and I followed, realizing it's hard to walk because the sand seems to be pulling me down. He saw me struggling and He held out his Hand, I took it.

I tried to remember what had I asked Him. Ah, about my life. If I would ever feel happy again because these past days I have been very down. Every trouble I meet seem to weigh on me. Now I had asked Him if I would be able to triumph my sorrows.

"How will I know if I can make it?" I asked once more. He stopped walking and faced me.

"You will know in your heart, My Child. You will know. Now I must take my leave." He smiled and started to continue walking.

I couldn't move. I wanted to ask Him more, wanted to know more but He's getting blurry in my vision.

Then I heard a shrill ringing. It was my alarm clock reminding me of a brand new day. I got up and glanced at the window which shows the sky, adorned by beautiful cloud formations. I smiled to myself, feeling as light as those clouds could be.

"It sure is a brand new day." Those words escaped my mouth.
