When a seed is planted, it must go into the dark to grow. The womb is a dark place. The night is dark, but it enables us to see "lights" that would otherwise go unnoticed....
Kind of like that old song, "Turn, Turn, Turn"... to everything there is a season.

Deep and true lindammarie. A very well balanced view in my opinion, and healthy too. And still in my head I hear the cries of those trapped in some dark, lonely, cold, place from where there seems to be no return and sadly, for some, there is none.
