Don’t be Afraid
Don’t be afraid of the silence,
For only in silence can we hear
The calm, ethereal voices from within.
Don’t be afraid in the silence,
For silence

Is just another kind of sound.

Don’t be afraid of the dark,
For only darkness can illuminate
The vast, interior splendor of our worlds.
Don’t be afraid in the night,
For darkness
Is just another kind of light.

Jaime

Blessings to our magican Midnitesun …

Beautiful imagery, "For only darkness can illuminate
The vast, interior splendor of our worlds."
Very good writing! Grover.

wonderful contrasts and associations. truly, we learn a lot from trials in life, if only we look at them in a positive light.

Your starlight shall always shine within the rainbow dancing northern lights, and the sounds of your heartbeat shall always be heard loud and clear upon the winds of time and change.
Jaime, thank you, for being such a special friend, a forever inspiration of strength and determination, for giving me "the lift beneath my wings."
Did you ever know that you're my hero?????
I am honored to have been given the opportunity to know you beyond this blue screen. Thank you, forever. Kacy (waving to you again from under the northern lights)

I enjoy both silence and darkness but methinks we all would rather stand in the Midnitesun-shine
