The darkness always hangs around every corner like a welcome friend. For without it there, there would be no here, and without a here, there would be no you, and without a you, there would be nothing. So as sure as the sun rises in the morning and the sun sets at night, our whole journey is about the light. It will lead us to water, it will compel us to drink, it will feed us from the fields of thought, and know when we are hurting. Light is the beginning of time and the end of the end.
Darkness is the bed of illusion shielded by the spirit of oneness.
But when we go to sleep, we are present for all moments. All desires, fantasies, illusions, are just a moment in time brought to us in the connection of oneness to the strand of life. To dream is to be in the darkness of all our thoughts. To wake is to be in the lightness of who we really are not. It is almost impossible to talk to anyone who is awake in their dream and who is sleeping during the day.
