WoW! David, What a deep and thought-provoking one-liner. When I read your title I thought of the movie with Russell Crowe with the same title or a similar title. Well done-Alexis

Thank you Alexis, I indeed purposely used the title name from that movie, for all his mathematical genius, he struggled so much in his own darkness throughout life, sometimes we need help from others to bring the light back into our lives, cheers David

If one is able to fill black holes with light, that person is surely endowed with a heart so beautiful. Great monoku dear friend ....

Thank you so much Valsa! Again you see my intentions, the one who knows how the universe works, pales into insignificance, to the one who can bring back light to the person in the depths of darkness, cheers David

This is SO cool!! I was thinking of the movie by that name, the man who had same mental illness as my father had, but I love the connation of this one-liner as well.

The guy in the movie was a mathematical Genius, but fell into a spiral of schizophrenic darkness, from which he struggled all his life to be free off, I had it in mind whilst writing, cheers David

Hey Anaya, (With the lights out it’s less dangerous) so said Kurt, but not out for too long, ;-) cheers David

'Danger is your business,' David! Go for it.' I'll be right behind you -- about 1m parsecs behind, to be exact. ~ Scared in Space

In the void of space 1 million parsecs should suffice Gershon, but when in the blackest place of one’s mind we need someone a little closer to help guide us out, cheers David

....i think we're clear that 'under standing' meant 'standing under'......stan

Yes part of this equation Stan, but without power the ceiling light is useless, some people need to tap into another source when drained of life, cheers David

One who chooses to see the world in a positive light instead of with a dark, negative view. Such as someone who's been in the depts of an abyss and then rises from it.

Indeed Jenna, or the one who help’s another from a seemingly inescapable black hole, back into the light? Cheers David

Excellent! Or travels through them to meet the light on the other side. Despair can be a journey to victory...Christ came back to tell us about it.

Possibly a few ways to look at this one Joe, but I think the name of the contest probably explains it best, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David
