"Kissing the Dark"

 

"The eclipse is the moon's way of kissing the dark."

Pablo Neruda

There is something about this darkness that releases our reserve and enables the heart to express sorrow. Unfiltered, pain seeps out and knowing we are unseen, tears do stream. Anger can be quietly acknowledged in preparation for this darkness to heal. That which we have avoided, can now form before us.

In this space of darkness, we can rekindle our desire to thrive, not marginally survive. An awareness settles on the reality of us needing to be the one who can shift us from sadness. Vision enhances what we most want for our lovely selves, rather than what others are projecting. There is an end to waiting for someone else to repair.

As we walk through this dark space, choices are made for resolve that best resonates with our purpose. As our emotions subside, the breath of life becomes deeper. Tension is released and peace returns to our perceptions. Energy begins to realign and our cells happily transport hope and joy, ultimately moving us forward.
