Emerging from the rear entrance of the Cajun restaurant in which we enjoyed a delightful meal, the rain began to pummel as we darted to the car. Navigating a strange and “uniquely” arranged parking lot in the midst of a torrential downpour proved to be a daunting task. After multiples of turns we were once again on the road to the farm. Just before the traffic light signaled its green glow for our direction, a massive truck hauling an eight foot diameter twenty foot long conduit turned onto the road in front of us. Added to nature’s downpour was the massive mist and back-splash of the enormous cargo in front of us. As we traveled ever so cautiously in a northerly direction to the farm the clouds began to clear and we could see ahead the glow of the full sun calling us into brighter light. As the traffic permitted we gracefully passed the impeding cargo as we joyfully traveled through the beautiful landscape now illuminated and glistening in the light of the late afternoon sun. There are times when PD symptoms seem to make their way into my path to impede my journey. Impatience with them serves little purpose, but recognizing that there are glimmers of light on the other side of those impediments gives purpose to enduring them for a while until the opportunity arises to leave them in their own mist. Experience has taught me that each day is a journey and that the One who holds the future is the loving guide to the destination.
