coming out of the dark

if you are reading this, you see how long it has been since i last posted. but as the allman brothers band sang in the song "wasted words"..."that was then, this is now. don't ask me to be mister clean 'cause baby i don't know how." that was then and then turned into darkness. now i feel like i am coming out of the dark. darkness can be lonely and difficult to understand. darkness is hard to navigate, hard to find your way out. it is hard to let people in when there is darkness surrounding you. darkness can be perception only with virtually no reality and darkness can be very real. so what do you do when darkness closes in? seek help? where? can you let go? as james taylor sings..."i've seen fire and i've seen rain. i've seen sunny days that i thought would never end. i've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend. but i always thought i'd see you... one more time again." who is you? your best friend, your spouse? God, Jesus Christ? if today was your last day on earth, who would you want to see just one more time again? peace
