Fall in love with the darkness.
of life’s stupidity and crap.
the shadows, the hidden parts.
of the wreckage that we hide out of shame.
Fall in love with the innocence.
From our childhood’s fears: from the darkness.
To be exposed, to show up,
to be seen, to enter the light.
with our hidden doubts and pains,
of our strange fantasies, feelings
that we don’t know what to do with.
All those night terrors.
The rage that boils just below the surface.
The fear of not being worthy of love.
The feelings and thoughts that we hide
to maintain the image of “me”.
To be good, to be kind, to be spiritual.
To be “the one who can fix everything”.
Fall in love with this secret humanity.
Know that darkness is NOT darkness,
only frightened fragments desiring
to enter the light,
beings in search of love and attention,
and air to breathe, including a larger image of the Self.
Do not seek the light, my friend.
Just be the light.
Be what you are.
The light of life.
And have the courage to shine completely
even on injured areas, fragile parts.
Shine.
Be radiant.
Make sure you offer safety to the little monsters coming out of the shadows
Let them know that they are beautiful.
And dignified.
And that they have never been monstrous.
