Someone is trudging through a desolate, hostile, and vast desert. As exhaustion approaches, an oasis is spotted in the distance. The trekker plods on in that direction, never giving up although weak, thirsty, and tired. The desert is how life often seems to be.
You know the traveler: Your friend, a family member, a loved one, a co-worker, even someone you only met once or twice. That person approaches the oasis knowing refreshment, comfort, peace, and rejuvenation will be there. The feeling of anticipation is almost like a religious experience.
And you are that oasis.
