The Lighthouse Without a Beacon
Guidance Through Presence Alone
On a rugged coast stood a lighthouse that emitted no light. Still, ships never crashed. Sailors insisted they felt a calm certainty when sailing near it — as if the structure itself steadied their hands. When a storm destroyed the lighthouse, panic gripped the coast. But the next ship sailed smoothly through the tempest. The sailors said the same feeling remained, guiding them. The villagers rebuilt the lighthouse anyway, knowing its power had never come from a flame, but from the knowledge that someone — or something — stood watch.

The Mirror That Refused to Show Faces
A wandering merchant carried a mirror that showed everything except the viewer’s face. Instead, it revealed symbols — a flame, a feather, a wave, a stone. People begged for explanations, but the merchant never spoke. One day a child saw a seed in the mirror and giggled. She planted it in the ground. By morning, a tiny sprout grew. The merchant finally spoke: “Faces change. Symbols endure.” He vanished with the mirror, but the seedling remained, growing into a tree reflecting every passerby in its shimmering leaves.

Hobbies The Ongoing Cycle
When we think about the hobbies we do in life do we think about how long hobbies last and what they are? Do we think of them as being a cycle of some sort in order to live the life that we want to live? Living life through doing hobbies is a cycle in and of itself isn’t it? It is and the reason for this is, hobbies are what gives life variety and fun, the more fun and variety you have with your hobbies the more cycles come throughout them. The more we do the hobbies we enjoy the more we live the life we want to live. This means the more we get out of life too. Which means the more we do the same thing over and over again, or at least I do. When I do hobbies, usually I am doing the same hobby over and over again throughout my life because it is a way that I relax. Now not everyone does this when it comes to their hobbies but some of us do. Some of us do hobbies so much in our lives that they feel like a cycle is being done that is never ending.
