Sweet Darkness


I was reminded of this poem today.
It is really beautiful...and really resonates with me.
Namaste,
Michele



When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing:
the world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

I love this poem Michele, thanks for sharing it. I just finished rewatching Louise Hay's DVD You Can Heal Your Life...another one of those great sources of wisdom we can benefit by revisiting often! :)
Namaste,
Kristie
ps. Sorry to hear of your water troubles. I hope it doesn't cost too much to repair.
