Shining From the Darkness.
Darkness and it’s accompanying shades of grey (sadness, loneliness, frustration) flows slowly and covers completely. A heavy blanket of misunderstandings judged as failings, defeats. Wrongs.
We are all visited by Darkness-at one point or another. How it comes to visit doesn’t matter. It does not require to be warranted. Darkness is darkness. And it can feel insurmountable. Absolutely overwhelming. Powerfully contagious. Infecting all aspects of your being leaving a trail of confusion and loss.
So there she sits. Tears flowing. Harshly judging her Darkness. Unknowingly inviting it’s energy to further feed on her soul. Long breath. Soft weeping. Composure regained. Eyes closing.
The Darkness NEEDS defeat. It requires you to be a slave to your sadness. To expect less than you deserve. To surrender your worth. To blame. To give up.
So. DON’T GIVE UP.
Call on your faith. Even if you can not feel it. Be it faith in God or a spiritual faith in yourself. Consciously accept that no matter how sad today is–tomorrow will be better.
She stands. Face up. Slow blinking. An inexplicable need to simply get up and move forward. Even if only to the end of the room. Inaudible whispers of self love encouraging her. Asking her to SHINE amongst the DARKNESS.
Let courage be your light. Breathe. Embrace acceptance and appreciation.
Starve The Darkness by shining your light of courage on the good in your world. Connect with Nature. Seek beauty. Delicious food. Caring touches. Movement. Music.
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW. The Darkness despises an indomitable spirit. Shrivels when exposed to active manifestation of all things encouraging growth.
DON’T PLAY. Remove yourself from the game of despair. Get up and get out.
CONNECT with LOVE. Love that you share with others. Love that you gift yourself. Love is, and always will be, your saving grace. Choose to be open to love in your life.
When you are ready. When the time has come. When you have had enough of the burden. When you gather the courage to see past the pain…The Darkness will begin to retreat.
Your light. Your love. Your spirit. WILL SHINE BRIGHTER.
