Sitting With Darkness - DWC Magazine: Strong Women, Strong Voices

Sitting With Darkness

Occasionally, life hands us moments where we get to choose dark or light.

Yesterday, I slipped and chose darkness. It was a day filled with chaos, tiredness and confusion. Dark was easy. Dark was convenient. Dark was also hard to come out of of.

When you sit with dark, shadows start to play tricks on you. Happy becomes clouded with bleak. Safe is questioned. Sincerity is mixed with a dash of sinister. Dark becomes comfortable because in actual fact, you cannot see things clearly.

But.

Shadows means there is light present. Finding this light is never easy because you have to want it. You have to move away from the comforts that dark offers you.

I was blessed to have someone do this with me last night. To find me in the dark and to then sit with me long enough to understand where I was but not long enough for me to get lost in my own darkness.

I found light. Light is clarity. Light is strength. Most of all, light is forward.

As we gain footing in this new little home of ours, I thank you for being here. As always, if there is something we can be doing better, please let us know.

It’ll be awhile before things come together and it’s bound to be an adventure of sorts so thank you for staying.

For now, I wish you love and light. And if you ever have to make the difficult choice of dark and light, I wish you enough strength to choose light.
