It was bound to happen. No journey can go on forever without finding itself run up against a conflict. Ours is no different. Call it what you will -- night, darkness -- but it's the time when shadows play.
We can push on into the inky blackness and hope nothing bothers us, but we all know that's unrealistic. Venture into an unknown place and you're guaranteed to find something or someone minding not only their own business, but yours as well. Maybe we'll go unharmed, but more than likely we pay a steep fine -- and i'm not talking money or jewelry.
Our other option is to hole up in a cave and wait it out like our ancestors before us. Again, it's a place of mystery with anything lurking behind us. What if what we see is only the opening to something much larger? That could lead us on an unexpected journey into a place we never would have found otherwise. Or it could lead us to Hell. It could also be home to a vast number of creatures big or small, tame or wild. Pleasant or dangerous. Do you want to take the chance of becoming something's late night snack?
So what'll it be, folks? Do we delve deeper into the darkness and hope for the best? Tackle the challenges head on and discover our true nature?
Or do we hide out in a shelter where we may or may not be the only seeking refuge there? That maybe there's more to this so called sanctuary than we at first thought.
What'll it be? The lady or the tiger?
