light … and dark - shadow and bright are diametrically opposed and intricately interdependent we must learn to not fear the dark for it holds the same delight, the same color the same purpose and excitement the same realizations … unseen and it harbors something very precious that we depend on each dazzled day something as priceless as air and food … and love it is the warm blanket of peaceful repose that we all close our weighty, weary lids to and most often take for granted a dark, deep world of slumber that is of inestimable value without which we would cease to draw breath … so … next time the somber darkness closes in remember its value in your life and how all that we see and treasure in the radiance of day is given it’s worth by night’s dark umbra and that the rest and peace and rejuvenation of sleep that we so dearly depend on is found in the warm, soothing black … of its embrace.
