The light at the end of the tunnel.



I was brought up to believe that, "the light at the end of the tunnel" was,"a train coming the other way", as my grandfather would, always, say. Yet, the other day, I was walking in an avenue of trees and I saw the whole concept in a completely different way. No longer do I think as I used to, but rather, that there is no light at the end. I am already in the light and the trees are kindly providing some shade. And, what lies in the distance ? Maybe someone looking from the other end, wondering what's going on where I am. And just beyond, round the bend a little, is a wonderful future. But I'm in no hurry to get there. I'm enjoying the shade !!
