The story we want to tell you
is about an ordinary woman who, quite
unexpectedly and by chance, met someone who
showed her the Path she should follow. At
the very time when, because of the
difficulties she was experiencing, she was
beginning to think she hadn’t the strength
to face her problems, “...a ray of light
filtered through the clouds to touch the
ground, as if to remind her that the sun is
always in the sky, even if it is hidden.”
That day she met the Friend, a boy of just
seventeen years, who left his mark on her soul.
“...He was just a normal boy, he had the most
striking eyes, and at the time he wore his hair in
a long ponytail, with the odd lock dropping in
front of his face, like a girl’s. His features
were delicate and his hands were particularly long
and white. But, above all, I was struck by his
voice. His voice, in contrast with his sweet
appearance, was mature and deep...”
As
time passed, the Friend led the author through
experiences which changed her deeply and which
prepared her to receive much more than she herself
expected. One day, he said to her, “all the
problems you have had to overcome were trials
which allowed you to train yourself to be more
vigilant and aware of your reactions. Now you are
ready to enter the Way.”
After ten years of experience on the Way, the
author decided to write these few pages, and
concluded as follows: “… This is my testimony and
I have felt some very strong emotions whilst
telling it. I hope that those who read it will
find a ray of hope, a message: I hope that in
disheartened moments they will be able to raise
their eyes to heaven and know that the brightest
Star is there for them too…”
