My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me to the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
Thomas Merton
When we walk to the Edge, Of all the light we have known, And we take a step into the darkness of the Unknown, We must believe One of Two things Will happen—- There will be solid ground Upon which to stand Or We will be taught to fly.
