Quietness...
Stillness...
Yet, in the space between her head she could hear voices. Thoughts, one after another were bombarding her. Every thought seemed to trigger another one - and it kept on going on and on and on. She wished that they would just leave her alone so that she could just hear the silence. However, she knew that her wish would be in vain.
It was dark. The road seemed deserted and empty. A part of her wished that she had taken her friend's offer to walk with her. However, deep inside, she knew it was better this way - it was something she had to do alone. This path was too narrow for anyone else to come along anyways. He had made it that way. And so, as much as she wished that she had a companion with her to perhaps drown the disquieting voices in her head. She had to take this journey alone. She knew that He wanted it this way.
She was alone. And yet, not alone. No other footsteps broke the silence but for hers. Each step felt uncertain and she was a little afraid. The path seemed perilous. Yet, she felt His gentle presence with her - helping her to take the next heavy step, and the next - urging her on in the midst of the other voices.
She was not sure where the path was leading - though it seemed vaguely familiar. All she knew was that she was happily surrounded by her family and friends when she heard His voice calling to her and she had to go. To Him.... Again... And somehow, apprehensively, she knew that she was going to come out of it not unchanged and perhaps not unscathed - as the voices in her head kept on telling her....
