I was talking to a friend yesterday and he said...
For me, there was one concept that a therapist once told me, that stays with me always...
You know me.
I am all ears...
"What happens when
light
battles
darkness?"
The question came a bit out of nowhere...
I thought...
Darkness is the absence of light...
but there are black holes which swallow all light...
I am battling to pull all my astrology and physics memories in one place...
"Darkness wins" I said. Overly influenced by the black hole and feeling like my time was running out..."
Fortunately, he didn't hear me or perhaps ackowlege me as it was clear I had no clue.
"What happens when you go into a dark room, and turn on the light?"
"The light comes on...
there is NO fight...
light
wins..."
I decided not to challenge it, but to follow his train of thought.
He is right ... I thought...
If the light is big enough for that space...
"There is no fight...
When you find light it stops the darkness...
when you find love it ends the hate...
Life is a journey to find the light...
to embrace light..
to end the struggle....
If you are still struggling,
you haven't really found the light."
The metaphor or philosophy can go on and on...
but I loved it.
I do think as human beings we are meant, designed and in need of struggle to find our light...
but I loved the power of light, of truth, of wisdom, of goodness, of love...
I loved the idea of GIVE INTO it...accept the awesomeness of it... embrace the light in your life and let it take over all of the darkness....
I love the idea that the struggle can end... will end... as soon as I accept it, embrace it... the power of it.
Enlightenment... that word means more to me now...
"Light"... love... faith... hope
takes over
darkness... ego... fear...
It's no contest...
I get that,
feeling my way
up and down
the walls...
Inspired by possibility,
opportunity, gratitude...
and the certainty of LIGHT...
committed as ever
to finding the
switch
;-)
in harmony,
Nestor
