You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star - Nietzsche
"Go to the deepest darkest place you can allow 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 thought that light was something by the name of resilience. What I did not know was that the light was actually joy. How could joy exist in this extraordinarily dark moment? How could joy be present in this awful and awful time?
I can remember how it felt in that moment. Everything was totally black. The darkest black you could ever even imagine. If you have ever seen a black table that has been lacquered several thousand times, the depths appear unending. This situation and time in my life was this sort of black and it really was as thick is molasses.
However, there had been the presence of light. The only real issue was, I wasn't trying to find it.
It's not going to be simple for me to return to this place. There are lots of things that I have buried deep so nobody could ever find them. Thing is, I knew they were there. They have always been there the entire time. I truly have been so afraid to let them bubble up that I honestly have actually run from my past right into the future and have utterly forgotten about the present. That is 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 really start to see things as they are and not just how your shocked mind has interpreted them to be. So I'm bringing that light in.
Into the depths we go.
