WE PREFER LIGHT, BUT CANNOT IGNORE THE DARK

A title like this does not attract readers. We all feel and see the surrounding darkness, but we don’t want to study it. We look for light.

We must look for what is. Is it growing darker, or is it just more confusing?

There is a glimmer of light. What appears dark may just be confusing. Perhaps we can find clarity together.

“The Shift” has been an encouraging exploration for many of us. It sees approaching increased consciousness for us all. This is real.

We are aware of crisis before healing, the dark night of the soul before awakening to awareness.

When we are in the darkness, there is no glimmer or hope for light, for awakening. So, we touch hands and find comfort in company.

What are our shadows?

Politics: Democracy Vs Ditatorship

What do we want? Have we and a significant part of the world gone insane? I don’t want To talk more about it for now.

We all have our personal shadows I’ll not touch on here. To do so would be to whine, which I will not.

Seems like I have nothing more to say on this unfortunate subject for now.

If answers are to be found in our communications, I look forward to your insights.

Thanks.
