It's easy to forget the things that you try to implant in your brain--little shards that seem to be a part of something bigger, although you may never know what that bigger something is. But you cannot so easily forget that which suddenly illumines your path and helps you realize that what you were looking for needed only to be uncovered.
With each step through the darkness, I find more that I can recognize. And, even when I feel completely lost and abandoned, I can appreciate the stars, the smell of nighttime, and the comforting stillness of the air.
