My heart grieves for those trapped in any sort of darkness. I remember visiting Mammoth Cave when I was a child. They turned out the lights at one point and the darkness was so heavy you could feel it.
But I do
try to keep the word "balance" in mind.
At any given time, most of us seem to lean toward the dark or the light. And how far we lean seems to fluctuate for most of us...
It bothers me, though, when I feel pressure (often from myself) to pretend like I'm always leaning toward the light. That pressure, I think, sometimes makes me over-emphasize my feelings. It sort of takes away the ability to simply "be".
Unfortunately, many times people around us aren't comfortable with letting us "be"... That, too, makes life difficult.
