Warmth of darkness is a good night's sleep, deep rest and a sense of rejuvenation when one wakes up. There is a quiet that resides in darkness that is healing. No wonder the age old wisdom to rest when sick remains true today.
Lois Schroff in her book Physical and Spiritual Experience of Color says, "Darkness is the invisible all carrying mother of substance. The warmth and security of the mother's womb, the place where seeds wait for the right condition for sprouting, a cocoon wound round and round to keep away the light until the time arrives for birthing- all of these are times of darkness."
Light is waking in the brightness of a new day...or it can be the reflected sun's light on the moon. It's a an idea...maybe even 'brilliant.' We use the phrase, "the lightbulb went on" when we have a new understanding of something. One could say there is light in our thinking. Ueli Seiler Hugova writes, "Light is invisible, so no one has ever seen it. It remains invisible until it falls on a physical object. Light has something of the straight line about it. It causes reflections and turns the world into a counter world, an object. Out of primordial foundation, light begets the world of external reality, the visible world.
Rather than in a given day.... how does history hold darkness and light?
Darkness-moving warmth
ancient lore, magical rites
existence of God
Mythology dawns
pictures in my heart
Human Being! Oh flame of Love!
Modern mind awake!
Thought consciousness choice
Peril? or Freedom?
