Only transparency allows the light to shine. It is not darkness that hides the light from the world. Darkness cannot contain. It is nothing. It is powerless. It is the layers of fear, guilt and anger, our shield of protection and the stone walls we build that dims the light.

We create our own covering. We who build the impenetrable prison in believing we can keep the light safe, have beckoned the darkness.

Darkness did not come to destroy the light; we welcome it by hiding our own. Allow your light to shine, and it will only be light that surrounds you.
