Hello. Thank you so much for sharing your words of acquired wisdom. Heartfelt condolences if in order. Feel better soon as you emerge triumphantly.

Reading over your article felt like I was reading my life history all over again. It opened up some areas long shut-in, capped off, never to be felt or spoken of again.

When you say:

From the darkness the light is born, and to the darkness of the void the light will one day return.

If there ever were a statement so true, it is that. The soul can never continue to be weighed down with the burden of darkness. It has to rise towards the light. Nothing can stop it, no matter how hard we try. Eventually it will burst through. From that, we gain knowledge and wisdom.

Take care.
