... will we discover the infinite power of our light." (Brené Brown)
Picture this:
It is night and a lone walker is strolling down a lamplit street. There is a man crawling around on the floor under the soft glow cast by a street lamp. He seems to be searching for something.
"Are you okay?" asks the passer-by, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I've lost my keys!" replies the man.
"Where did you last have them?"
"I was over there," replies the man, pointing into the darkness, way beyond the lamppost.
"So, why are you looking over here?" queries the passer-by.
"Because it's light over here..."
Question:
What makes us so afraid of the dark?
There is nothing to be gained by looking in the light. Sometimes, we must go into the dark to find what we are looking for.
