It is only by loving that we can cross the dark seas and tumultuous tides. To see the sun rise again, familiar but never really the same. A heart in darkness can only contain its shadow for so long- at some point new light enters, bringing with it a new breath. And, it may feel as though this is the first time you have ever truly been able to inhale so deeply, through this darkness to the depths of your bare soul. It is here, in this depth, that you connect to divine light and somehow find the courage to leave behind all that is familiar and swim to the waking shore. For a heart that finds love for itself has survived the depths of shadows and elegantly stumbled to light; courageous and pure.
