To be in love with Darkness.
Thankful for my beloved friend Lauren-Lee Crouth that inspired me to this text :')
Many times we are afraid of the darkness. That darkness bring us memories , scary moments, fear, anxiety...
We always associate darkness to a negative thing. It is the unknown, the part of us that we are scare to go to deep and lose yourselves in to. We are afraid to get lost in the darkness, without finding our way to come back again.
We all have ups and downs.
We all have a story.
Something to tell about.
Something that we are ashamed or scare to share when, deep down, we should be proud to embrace it and overcome it.
There is always going to be a side of it that we don't like it .
I remember that also my mom use to hate the dark. She enjoys the light, the day, the sun, the warm. I think we all prefer that because, all of our biggest struggles where associate with the dark.
Depression and all the negative things that we categorize with a different name (like everything was a disease or illness), we picture it as the dark side of the coint.
With the dark night, all the "beasts"come out.
In many cultures, Darkness is associate with all the evil spirits and all the mystical beings in the outside world.
But, why we don't change this perspetive?
The aim is not to transform Darkness into to light but, to see it as a beautifull collour.
On one of my beautiful paintings, I had a black background. I remember how beautiful it was to see the contrast of all the collours with all that darkness behind.
We can see the stars if it isn't dark.
Dark is a need like yin and yang. With the dark night come 2000 thoughts and emotions that bring us the awarness to take care, to be in touch with our darkness and to find a way to love ourselves enough to feel it.
The sky is so special and beautiful at night.
Although, a quiet night can be a space to a noisy mind.
Thats scary, isnt it? But isnt it beautifull that the universe give this gift to us? An opportunity on the day to enjoy that silence? With that, we can find all the joy and peace that we need.
The night can be slowler and enjoable with a simple touch of love.
How we can value the light without darkness?
Let's try to picture it and share with the world how special it is.
How cozy it is to light up some candles and lights at night. All the enviromnent can suddendly transform in to a safe place, warm and peaceful.
It is so special.
Is exacly as we need to treat your negative energy. Welcome in, take care and let it go.
Many people picture things as society show it to us.
It is time to us to show how differently life can be with all the contrasts and collours of the universe.
There is always a lesson.
Let's take in and, TOGETHER believe that we can still shine in the most darkest nights ❤
Feel free to share what do you think about the text.
With all my love,
Clara 🙏
