Finding my way wasn't hard but the shock was walking into the hall and seeing the glow of daylight. In the bedroom you would never know. There was a soft glow of early morning but I had no idea it was manufactured. Out the hall there is a bright glow that opens into full sun. It is like it is planned to be a transition, an easy wake to the real world.

I want to explore further but feel like I am prying. That and the fact that I know what is waiting back at the calming darker end of that hall. There are no sounds coming from that end and I could easily go and learn more about him going to the opposite end. But it doesn't feel right. Something inside me screams to let him show you.

I stand there looking at the two ends for who knows long. Then the irony of where I am standing hits me. This is him, the light and dark. Do I think I can handle this. I can walk out to the light and go on with my life. I can not have to deal with this unsteady balance. I turn both ways time and time again. My feet move forward, I'm not sure if I can handle this path. The heartache might be to much but my feet move on their own until I feel the cool handle on my palm. Turning it I feel sick to my stomach but walk across the threshold.

"Now you've done it. Now what?"
