Why “streetlights?” Well, for a long time, I didn’t know. And somehow, I think now, maybe I do, albeit just a bit more than before. Maybe that makes sense, or maybe not, but the knowledge that I’m talking about isn’t just any kind of knowledge. It’s more like an awareness, or a localized illumination, kind of like streetlights.

Think about it. You need more than one streetlight to light your way along the road because you’re moving, and the place that was illuminated by the last one is the place where you just were, not necessarily the place where you are, and certainly not the place where you’re going. So, while illumination, or enlightenment, or awareness, is a knowing that just kind of “is,” life still has a progression to it, a journey. And that, friend, is why this is “a journey of self-awareness, authentic living, and intentional leadership.” I’m still on that journey, moving from one streetlight to the next, overjoyed and immensely blessed every time I find myself in the glow of a new one. And curiously, journeys like this one don’t seem to me to have an end in this life.“But what do you mean, you ‘didn’t know?’” You might ask. ”You didn’t know what?”
