“While
those who are frightened by the primal energy of dark emotions try to avoid
them, those who are willing to wrestle with angels break out of their isolation
by dirtying their hands with the emotions that rattle them most,” Barbara Brown
Taylor, Learning to Walk in the Dark.
There is
profound beauty hidden in the dark. It awaits light’s touch to honor it with
freedom; to launch it into the air; to explode it into life and thrust it into
liberty. It is the earth groaning under the curse. It is the body longing to be
untethered from death. It is the heart of man separated from whole and complete
communion with the Father.
