To also LOVE the Darkness … (03/31/2018)

“Light thinks it travels faster than anything else, but it is wrong in harboring this notion.  For no matter how fast light travels, it always arrives to find that the darkness has always arrived beforehand, and is patiently waiting for it … We are all forests, a night of dark trees: and yet those who are not afraid of our shadows will always find full banks of roses under our branches … We must dream a long time in order to finally awaken to acts of grandeur, and that dreaming is always first nursed in darkness.” ~ via Terry Pratchett, Nietzsche & Jean Genet
