"I wonder if that's how darkness wins, by convincing us
to trap it inside ourselves, instead of emptying it out."
Jasmine Warga
It is said, in order to know light we must experience darkness. This sounds reasonable enough, but too often the dark can overcome us with fear. It seems to get trapped inside with no apparent way to exit.
Our hearts can be pure, filled with hope while at the same time, our body is heavily laden with an emotional heaviness. We can be pouring love out into the world while the thoughts of being unloved drag us downward. With awareness, we can maintain a healthy balance.
Depression is a part of our nature (not diagnosed clinical depression). It is also a part of our nature to shine light upon that which is within. Our compassionate perception will expedite the excavation of unnecessary darkness.
