As I sit in darkness I get asked ‘why not turn on a light?’ Why would I need to turn on a light? I believe that sometimes the darkness is necessary. Being blinded by the every day occurrences and the overexposure to simple shortcuts makes the real light indistinguishable. So I willingly sit in darkness and I stare. I stare and allow my eyes to search for the light. The only light that can surpass my cornea and embed itself into my soul changing me forever. Closing your eyes and tuning out the unnecessary to make room for the truth is something we all should do every once in a while, it could change your perspective and your life.
