Sit with your friends don’t go back to sleep

Life’s waters flow from darkness

Search the darkness don’t run from it

Night travelers are full of light and you are too

Don’t leave this companionship

The moon appears for night travelers be watchful when the moon is full

Great poem. I believe many of us struggle because we are afraid of what we are experiencing even though it is life’s experiences that shape us, it is not the experience itself but how we deal with the experience. Through the darkness, through the unknown, through the pain we arrive, not a product of our experience but a victor over our experiences. God has placed something very special in you Starrlight, thank you for the poem.

So true we tend to judge everything, turning our experiences into ‘bad’, what they don’t have to be. That’s a lot on us I feel ha we ARE in charge of how we respond and what ultimately our eexperieces are and we are shaped! :o oh my! Yes, we are strong enough to get through the darkness and even can embrace the darkness. Thanks so much Needhelp!!!
