Darkness, the truest darkness is not the absence of light. It is the conviction that the light will never return, but the light always returns, to show us something new; home, family, and things entirely new or long overlooked. It shows us new possibilities and challenges us to pursue them. This time the light shone on the heroes, coming out of the shadows to tell us; we won't be alone again. Our darkness was deep and seemed to swallow all hope, but these heroes were there the whole time, to remind us what is real, that you can see it. All you have to do is look, up in the sky.

How the stars shone. How sweet the earth smelled. The orchard gate creaked, and a footstep pressed on the sand. And she entered, fragrant as a flower, and fell into my arms. Oh, sweet kisses, lingering caresses. Slowly, trembling, I gazed upon her beauty. Now my dream of true love is lost forever. My last hour has flown, and I die, hopeless, and never have I loved life more.”

Look We only "see" that which reflects light. How much more is there? There are those among us that when sitting in a dark room think that nothing exists that is not seen. Our ability to see is much more than what's shone through our eyes. I "see" that Judy Jones is pissed at me even though her outward appearance remains lovely. About all of us there exist more effecting us that is unseen than is seen. What we "see" in our dreams is seen through our "inner" eyes. It might be beneficial to look more carefully upon our inner sphere of being. Know Yer Loved, CWD

'Light Give me light' was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.
