The lighthouse is strong, stable and magnificent. The lighthouse shines her light for all those that choose to seek home and new horizons. During a storm, fog or troubled waters we, as navigators, depend on the lighthouse for guidance. We never want to crash. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to sail through spots that are difficult.

We are not equipped to see past the obstacles to the beautiful land up ahead. When we decide to ignore the lighthouse, the lighthouse keeps shining. She keeps illuminating the way. That is her job that she excels at. She knows the path because she has seen it already. It is why her light is so bright. When we finally get to shor
