Embracing the darkness within us, can lead to a deepened understanding of our being. In some Eastern cultures they meditate in the dark, so that they are at one in embracing their true fears. Every baby starts out for nine months in the womb in complete darkness. Similarly a seed, nurtures life from a bed of dark soil. We have grown to fear darkness, but if we become comfortable and at ease with it, our fears can dissolve.
Darkness
Darkness balances the light,
It contains a well of wisdom and intensity;
The womb of everything there is.
So why fear the absence of light?
When there is always a connection to the divine,
A star or the moon reminds us of its presence.
Look to the light, and walk knowingly through the dark,
Allowing its envelopment to lighten our step,
And carry us home.
