The Dark
The dark is generous
Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in procting our secret truths, but in hiding from us form the truths of others.
The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
It second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night's embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in day's harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temprary: that evrey night brings a new day. Because the day is temporary.
Day is the illusion.
Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the night that divede them, as stars are defined by the infinite black trough which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings forth from the center of its own self.
Wich each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins....
