The lessons of darkness are the most import. In the darkness, we are the most creative. In the darkness, we learn self-reliance. As we travel through darkness, like the three blind men of old each learn a part of the whole. As the tunnel shows light; we see others traveling. each with a story to tell. Each story than fits like a puzzle and as we give of the self; we each become part of the whole; until the next tunnel appears and lone lessons to learn again. skye2008 Sign in to see full entry.
