You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star - Nietzsche
"Go to the deepest darkest place you can permit yourself to 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 a thing by the name of resilience. What I didn't know was that the light was actually joy. How could joy exist in this extraordinarily dark moment? How could joy be present in this frightful and terrible time?
I remember how it felt in that moment. Everything was totally black. The darkest black you could even imagine. If you have ever seen a black table that has been lacquered several thousand times, the depths seem endless. This situation and time in my life was this kind of black which was as thick is molasses.
However, there was light. The only issue was, I wasn't trying to find it.
It's not going to be simple for me to come 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 of the time. I truly have been so frightened to let them bubble up that I honestly have actually run from my past directly into the future and have totally forgotten about the present. That's really no way to live life. That's not how my life will be lived from now 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 shocked mind has interpreted them to be. So I'm going to be bringing that light in.
Into the depths we go.
