Light Follows Dark

All shall be well,and all shall be well,and all manner of things shall be well. Julian of Norwich

Regardless of how you feel, the light of day always comes.

You can be walking through the darkest of nights and it may seem that this is all there is, but the scientific and religious explanation is that day always follows night. And then subsequently, night to follow day once more.

Being aware of this, should leave you with no surprises. Things are never as bad as they seem in the day. The dark of the night is filled with dread and worry and pain and a fear that may cripple you if you let it. Tears may fall with abundance, words may not be enough to comfort, the unexplained remains unexplained.

It is so easier to see things in the light of day.

And so I ask you. Where are you in at the moment? The light or the dark? The day or the night?

If you are in the light, what are you doing to prepare yourself for the coming night? Do you have what you need? Do you have torches or candles? Do you have somewhere comfortable to rest your head whilst the night passes through? For it will pass through, regardless of how you feel. It always does.

If you are in the night, what are you doing to remember that light is on its way? Are you full of trust, do you have the things you prepared close to hand? For it will pass through, regardless of how you feel. It always does.

Don't wait until it is dark to prepare. You wont be able to see to gather. Happiness follows sadness and sadness follows happiness. It is a natural path to life. To expect something different is to expect the laws of nature to be different.

Remember this and all shall be well.
