I stand on a desolate windswept shore. Life hasn’t had a chance to change or alter this place. As I look from horizon to horizon I see nothing but a dull grey panorama. Not even the sky looks that much different as it matches the land in color and somber attitude. Behind me the sea is dark and unwelcoming. I cannot go back.
I take a step and I alter this land permanently, my feet scratching the ground and sending up a small cloud of dust. The alteration having a ripple effect as I move across this alien expanse.
Little mounds of dust piling up, then dunes and hills. Seeds borne on the wind settling into the new shelters for life and setting up shop. Green sprouting as my heavy thread continues changing the topography.
A panoply of colors as flowers bloom. The din of noise as bees and other insects are drawn to the new life. Birds chirp in the branches of the leafy tall trees that have recently taken root. Foxes, rabbits, and other animals shyly watching me from the dark undergrowth.
I continue down what appears to be a country lane and top a hill to see a shining city in the horizon.
Life has come to this alien world and it is due to my efforts and my imagination. My personality, my ideas, my spirit will populate this place.
We have to remember this when we think of the future. This new year that is coming up, it is our barren landscape. Or perhaps it’s a blank canvas calling for us to fill it. However you choose to think of it, please remember that you are the architect of your future and yours will be the decision and the responsibility as to how it turns out.
Make it the future that you want it to be.
