The dark can be scary. There aren’t many brightly lit horror movies for a reason. How can I know if a threat might be hiding in the shadows? Better to stay in well lit spaces where I can always see what’s coming.
Depression, the shadow world of our psyche, is just as frightening. Better to stay busy and not face what might be bothering us.
But without shadow, it might be difficult to see the light properly.
Without darkness, Christmas lights can look shabby and almost sad.
Without winter, Spring’s treasures might not impress.
When we walk through depression, question it’s purpose, and reach for the light beyond, that’s when we find the joy.
Keep chasing lights.
