I was reading Naomi's blogger adn fell across something that really struck me. So... I wroter her a comment, but it jsut didn't sound right in a comment box, so... here I will C&P it for your viewing pleasure. It's a message for everyone, not jsut one soul. Everyone should know the lgiht and dark of it all.
"I think that is similar to one of my oldest quotes, and one I rely on whenever I'm having a bad day, to bring me, eventually, out of the murk and gloom, to a better place. "There can be no light without darkness." A double negative, I know, but hey. It makes it sound more impressive. *grin* No, really... It's a quote that makes you realize that in order to have the good things in life, you must have the bad, or you won't appreciate them. And how can you keep getting happy things? It would make everything seem bad, in one way or another. You will eventually be disappointed, so... Give it up. You can't always have the light without the dark. Or the good without the bad. Ya know what/ This is going in my blogger. It's really such a great theme for talking about.
I was actually saying something along the lines of that in my blogger tonight. With horses, I cannot live without them. I feel like I suffocate, the air is heavier, thicker, without my horses, without any horses. But... After the pain of denial, and the near physical ache of withdrawal, when you finally get back on and are able to take your fill, it's so much sweeter for(because of) the sour."
(Do you know? I beleive the fen-shui of this new Blogger prohibits my writing. Soon as I C&P'd it here, I could no longer think of anyhting productive on this topic. And it ahs been so since the new layout. How sucky for me.)
Oh well... Good night and good luck to all of you fighting for the light. Your darkness will soon be gone, and the shadows will be lifted to frame something far brighter.
