Without darkness, Nothing comes to birth, As without light, Nothing flowers.
May Sarton
It has taken me a long time to recognize that darkness is an essential element for personal growth. No matter how many ‘right things.’ I do, darkness will still come unannounced and uninvited because it is an essential part of life. Without darkness I cannot become the person I was meant to be.

Loved it!!!
I sometimes wonder if I would enjoy the light as much if I had not known darkness.
