The Lantern by the River
Mira often lost herself in decisions. One evening, she was walking along the river and saw an old paper lantern floating. She followed it, even though she had no reason to. The lantern led her to a bridge where an injured dog lay. She took it to the vet—and there she met someone who later helped her find a job she loved.
From then on, Mira more often trusted her first impulse, the small tug inside that guided her quietly, like a lantern.
