Embracing
the Night
Some have too
closely joined
the
word dark with the concept of evil and it does not belong there.
The Darkness and the night is for humans the time of rest,
of dreams and regeneration.
Dark
is the fertility and decay which releases
nutrients.
Dark is quiet and
reflection.
Dark is sleep and healing .
Even death is after all the
great
healer. .
To embrace the beauty and the
power of
dark
is not to abandon oneself to evil
or to chaos but to recognize
the
beauty and power and effectiveness of the whole
We may think of death
as an entering to darkness yet darkness is a
nurturing thing Where those who are dying help
resolve the emotions
and issues that hold
them in body.
Birth is also a
revelation 0f the dark
Life emerges
from
the black of the womb
into the dawn of life .
The rest and dark
of
winter breeds the growth of
Spring Without the dark
winter many plants
will never come forth in Spring . There is not one Season
without the
other.
Dormancy and rest is equaly
as important as the active times.
It is not so much
about polarity as it is
about union. Dark and light cannot truly be
seperated from each other They are one
thing.
Evil and anger and lust
and pain which we often call dark can
also be a part of light and
Wisdom is found as often in
the caves as
in
the Midday heat.
Embace
both the light and the darkness as good . Evil can
occur in the light as well in the dark , Goodness and wisdom are also
found everywhere .When you hide from the dark in fear
you also are hiding from the goodness and wisdom that is
found hidden in the shadows.
