Cold.
Grey.
Impenetrable.
I take a step back to take in the vast magnitude of this wall.
I walk left, I turn back right.
Try to find a way across this barrier, but I always come back to the same grey spot.
I end up at this wall that has risen up around my heart.
I’m stuck.
In this dark night of the soul I circle around the same questions, I wrestle with the same doubts, I wonder how much longer I have to stay in this place.
I want to move on, get out of this place.
I long to go back to a time before the wall when everything seemed so simple and clear.
I grow restless and impatient.
I take a moment to pause and listen.
And that’s when it happens.
I hear a “what if” deep inside of me.
What if there’s no way back and I am meant to be here?
What if the beauty of the journey is not the destination but the movement in between?
What if the grey is actually a colored space to live in?
What if the wilderness is not an empty place but a home for weary travelers, creators, doubters and feeble believers?
What if being stuck is the call to surrender, grow and actually live?
Linking up with Five Minute Friday.

This is beautiful! I’ve been feeling a little stuck myself, lately (and wrote about it on my post, as well). Thank-you for creatively sharing such truth.
Thank you!
Oh friend, we all play the “what if” game! 🙂 I’m in the 6 spot this week.
Right? Not a pretty game to play…
Hello Katha
I see great depth in your reflection. those two last questions are ones in which I myself have fell to pondering. It is hard to be in a wilderness space. In a place where the wall ahead feels unpenetrable. there is hope…but sometimes it is just a little light. Keep asking questions my friend. There is beauty in the pondering. Joining you from FMF
Thank you! I have just finished Brene Brown’s “Braving the Wilderness” and it’s such a good read on this topic!
