Even In Darkness

Even In Darkness

Even in darkness, there is growth.

Does not the seed germinate

in the dark, moist soil?

Are not some of the most profound lessons

you learned, learned the hard way?

Cannot the darkness in your life

be your teacher?

Those times of trouble

or loss in your life

where all seems hopeless,

but it's not.

Where when you look back at those times

they were periods of major growth

in how you view your very existence?

How you became aware

of the lessons learned?

How a gift was received

by the sheer experience of it,

therein lies the real meaning learning.

Experiential lessons in your life

that give it a deeper meaning,

a more profound knowing

for having had the experience of it.

How vastly increased

is the empathy you can feel for others

by having a shared experience.

These soul experiences

that rock you to the core of your being.

The dark night of the Soul

can birth a new you.

For even in the darkness,

there is growth.  

To awaken to my Spirituality

and to share it.

All My Love Always, Keith
