This is my incredible journey beyond anything I knew.
The desert glistened in the intense light. The landscape with its endless beauty stretched out without offering hope. As I walked forward like an empty shell without thoughts and feelings, time slipped away from me. I had nothing, nothing more than just myself. Hours, days, and weeks passed by in this journey.
I slowly moved forward until a small black dot appeared far away.
Surprised, I stopped for a moment. My curiosity stirred, like a spark reigniting. In that distant speck, I held onto a fragile hope and quickened my pace toward it. Arriving at what I thought would be my rescue, I found only an elderly woman dressed in black lying there in the sand. Her eyes, marked by time, met mine, and she whispered with a dry voice, "Please give me water, for I am dying."
I stood facing a situation that demanded more than
I felt capable of.
Desperation weighed heavily on me, seeing her there in pain was like a heavy
ache in my chest. I had nothing to offer, no water, not even tools to dig for it.
How could I find water in this barren place? I wonder what to do. Strangely, a
clear voice responded, I found solace in a celestial echo that reverberated
through the ether.
Without thinking, I knew what to do.
I visualized a tool in my mind. I formed my hands into a makeshift cup and
opened my heart, allowing silent tears to fall and collect in my hands. Tear after tear
filled them until they brimmed with liquid. Then, I bent down to her,
reached my hands to her lip and said; drink and live.
