Luminous Echoes
Unveiling Secrets
Startled, I turned to face a spectral figure—a ghostly apparition of a woman, her ethereal beauty juxtaposed against the decaying machinery surrounding her.
"I am the keeper of this lighthouse, forever bound to its timeless embrace," she revealed with a bittersweet smile. "The light you seek to uncover is not of this world but rather the flickering remnants of lost souls."
Her words sent shivers down my spine, but curiosity overcame fear as I dared to ask, "What lies beyond this ethereal light? What secrets does it hold?"
Her melancholic gaze met mine, filled with an eternal longing. "Only those who are willing to confront their own past, to embrace the darkness within themselves, can unravel the true purpose of this lighthouse."
I ran out of consciousness, exposing my vulnerabilities and deepest fears.

The Longing Hours
He arrived late, again, just like every other night. Liz's heart clenched with a mixture of frustration and longing as she tightly gripped the armchair.

Back and forth, back and forth she went, each footstep echoing the cheerless ticking of the grandfather clock.

Time for #2
This is the second article on my review of the ideas in The Four Agreements. Here's the first article: I knew that I'd move forward with this series, but I put it off as Agreement #2 is a big stumbling block for me. I'd like to say I decided to get out of my own way and thus wrote this, but that isn't the truth. (Since Agreement #1 is to Be Impeccable with Your Word I surely need to own up to that)
