It Began With a Letter

It is often said, that one should avoid the unknown, and thus steer clear of danger, of peril. What the world doesn't seem to realise though, is that danger and peril will find their ways, and seep into people's lives regardless of how safe they live, of how honest they are, of how true they can be. It is the unknown that prompts reason, and course for change. Light is the guidance we ask for, yet not many are willing enough to embrace it, when it does come floating into our lives. Yet we run, we hide, we laugh, and we turn away.. That is until death comes a knocking at our doors, or at the doors of those closest to us. Only then do we truly realise, the meaning, the strength, the need, and the power that comes from embracing what we are meant to be.
