When Darkness Restores

A   L   O   H   A !

Don't confuse

foresight,

with worrying

about problems

you DON'T have. 

Biggest waste of Life

there is.

" Everything you say

Does something;

Everything you do

 Says something. "

Troy Dunn

" The trick is not 

how much pain you feel - 

but how much joy 

you feel. 

Any idiot can feel pain. 

Life is full of excuses 

to feel pain, 

excuses

 not to live, 

excuses, excuses, excuses. "

Erica Jong

“For darkness restores 

what light 

cannot repair.”

Joseph Brodsky

Develop Comfort

with discomfort.

Don't run, regret, retrench.

Dare just to

Be with,

to notice discomfort.

Allow an Angel to arise.

Be the space

for a process to 

transform discomfort

into what it needs

to be.
