WALKING WITH THE LOST…

It is not in the way they step. They walk with style but walk in the moment. Their conversations are always about the now never focusing into the tomorrow. Their tomorrow is a bed rock of worries. Pursuing hardships in their minds but living in the now. Direction is the common word in their hearts but it has become the lost element in their walk. Their appearance is appealing to them but the reality is appalling. Chin up, chest out and so sure of their existence in the direction of a shameful ending. For there is a man they follow – a man who has found the truthful way. Amazingly they follow the man in a blindness best described by us who once walked in these ways. Forget not that the man they see is in the right but the way they perceive is in the lost. It has always been the case of seeing or discovering. One can never see when he is at the same level with what he wants to see – geographically you need to be on a higher platform to understand what is on the lower level. This is the same principle in understanding direction – those who rise are never pompous because they have endured so much in the rising there is no time to flaunt. I have seen them who have risen in stature behaving like they have a permanent seat on top, a proud look. Humility has staying power, sticking ability, assurance of long lasting presence. Their character is without humility – and they are buried in pride. When a person is lost and does not know they are lost it is a sad situation. I have no right to judge one’s direction but in relation to me I have concluded this to be the way of the lost. It is never a man’s wish to be lost but always a man should examine where he is standing.
