“Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost…But after I had reached a mountain’s foot, at that point where the valley terminated, which had with consternation pierced my heart, upward I looked, and I beheld its shoulders, vested already with that planet’s rays which leadeth others right by every road.”

This beginning of The Inferno of Dante’s Divine Comedy can describe the vertigo implied when we start to enter a valley full of dangers (like the reality that we are forced to live), the fear that this supposes, however, maintains the possibility of seeing the light that emanates at the end of that journey. There is no absolute darkness. Although problems can cloud our minds, there is always a way out, a possibility to take a step.
 
Now, walking that path is not easy and it becomes even more complicated when we try to do it alone, thinking that only our will and personal capacities can reach the solution to life’s dilemmas.

After facing the three beasts that represent all evil in the world, Dante is paralyzed and continues by saying:
 
“While I was rushing downward to the lowland before mine eyes did one present himself, who seemed from long-continued silence hoarse.
When I beheld him in the desert vast, ‘Have pity on me,’ unto him I cried, whiche’er thou art, or shade or real man!”
 
In these triplets, Virgilio, the master, is present to show the way, to accompany him in the great and risky adventure of going through hell.
 
The more complex the circumstances in which we live, the more necessary it is to have a companion who is by our side and who helps us walk. This newsletter shows various experiences of how by accompanying our entrepreneurs, they manage to become protagonists of their lives and even take steps to organize events and growth opportunities themselves.
 
As we approach Christmas, we once again have the opportunity not only to find people to accompany us in our work or endeavors but to be in front of the great presence of God who becomes a child to become the great company of the human being in front of all the adventures of our life.
