Waiting for the End and a New Beginning

I spent the last four days reflecting on my current situation at work and the changes made by those who hadn't a clue what their words would do. I wanted to deny their impact on my world, but I couldn't. At this time of year, the words were potent to the coming storm of changes that threaten to wreck my sanity. I can't let them, I told myself.

Words are powerful. They bring light into the world. Most reject that light. They tell themselves that nothing had changed. They are waiting, as most of the world is, for the End. For most this means the end of everything. Can I deny this any longer? No, I can't deny the light...nor can I reject the light. I must embrace the light.

I sense that this is a hard thing to do. No one likes to embrace the blinding light that shows them for what they are. Instead they prefer to keep in the dark, hiding from the truth. They cringe at the thought of a New Beginning....Yet every year around this time, there is a sense that next year will be better. They want that New Beginnings. If I were honest with myself, I would want it too.
