Teach Me The Dark

This is such deliciously beautiful wordplay containing many examples of the 
nuances and power of darkness. It makes me dizzy with its immensity.

The mighty dark inside the fist...the vastness of limitless space that links with no effort the everything that is, the everything that ever was, and the everything that ever will be.  
It's like slow dancing with a complete stranger in a locked room. 

I'm thinking of the darkness of the womb from which every person emerges, the darkness inside our physical body where the cells, tissues, organs and systems keeping us alive work away in constant darkness.  We are born out of it and we will return to it upon our death. That alone causes a strong pause. The thoughts coming out of my mind are coming out of darkness.  

As I said earlier, its a life long contemplation.   And then to consider the darkness that's been terrorized by light and the dark that's been pushed away and all the dark that's been feared. Whew!

May we learn its valor, its ferocity, its kindness, its gentleness and its blinding generosity.
May the darkness in me acknowledge and merge with the darkness in you.
