Embracing The Darkness

Embracing The Darkness Image
Night appears to blur the revealing corners of our day. The darkness obscures the familiar posts upon which we hang our facades. Our most stoic of masks begin to dissolve as our most fundamental fears begin to parade before us in the darkness. Stripped of the day's distractions, we often find ourselves alone at night, its black mirror of darkness reflecting and magnifying our deepest fears and concerns. And it is during the shadows of the night, that despair may try to drag us away from our daytime strength pushing us into a pit of relentless anxiety and self-pity. However, we can choose, instead, to descend to the heights of our soul by kissing the darkness hello, by not fearing it. We can learn to embrace the fertility of night by blessing our pain and exploring the insights it has to offer, and by kissing it, we will invite the darkness to reveal its mysteries to us.

It happens to all of us. There are are nights that sleep just will not come...and darkness is our only company. There's been many a night I've laid there, silently, the darkness surrounding me, my mind racing with the thoughts of today and tomorrow. Each hour...looking at the clock...thinking about the alarm and how are we going to get through the day without our sleep. Well, we can fight against it, or we can go with the flow. Rather than lie there fighting for sleep that will not come, we can arise and brew ourselves a cup of our favorite tea, (caffeine free, of course). We can light a candle and curl up with a cozy afghan...having our pen ready, take out our journal...allowing ourselves the courage to face our fears and to glean the wisdom that is offered.
