You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star - Nietzsche
"Go to the deepest darkest place you can let yourself be and see if you can find a little light up in the top right corner?"
Yes, I saw that little light. For years, I was under the impression that light was something called resilience. What I didn't know was that the light was in fact joy. How could joy exist in this extraordinarily dark moment? How could joy be present in this horrid and terrible time?
I can recollect how it felt in that bad moment. Everything was pitch black. The darkest black you might even imagine. If you have ever seen a black table that has been lacquered several thousand times, the depths seem unending. This situation and time in my life was this sort of black and it really was as thick is molasses.
However, there somehow was light. The sole issue was, I wasn't trying to find it.
It isn't going to be simple for me to go back to this place. There are numerous things that I have buried deep so nobody could ever find them. Thing is, I knew they were there. They've been there all the time. I have been so frightened to let them bubble up that I honestly have actually run from my past right into the future and have completely forgotten about the present. That's no way to live life. That's not how my life will be lived from this point on.
This place, while dark, can be illuminated. Like all dark places, bring a bright enough lantern into it and you can begin to see things as they actually are and not just how your frightened mind has translated them to be. So I'm bringing that light in.
Into the depths we go.
