So often we want to know what lies ahead. We want to see the future, like we can look into a crystal ball and see, but what if today is enough? What if today’s enough is enough? What if you are enough always?

There is no great secret. It is in knowing that what lies in the dark lies in the dark, but right now, today, you have enough Light. Just take the next step. You don’t have to worry about what you can’t see.

“The art of living is to enjoy what we can see and not complain about what remains in the dark. When we are able to take the next step with trust that we will have enough light for the step that follows, we can walk through life with joy and be surprised at how far we go.”

— Henri Nouwen

Keep trusting that putting one foot in front of the other is enough. Sometimes it requires leaning into your village. Sometimes it means taking a day of rest when you think you need to work.
