Fear No Evil
When darkness descends upon an object,
it does not actually change that object.
It alters our view of that object, rendering
limitations of our relationship to its reality.
Therefore, it is not always the object that is
in need of changing. Like a dark storm cloud
that bodes no good, it is the darkness that
must be identified, exposed, and expelled.
The presence of darkness seems to have
the word fear painted on every inch of its
face and uses deception most cleverly.
Notwithstanding, one must penetrate
the darkness by casting light upon
the object to define its reality.
It's like an early morning sunrise wrapped
in breathtaking hues, bringing tidings of
life and joy to the dawn and shouting hellos
to the planet. Moreover, the power of the light
must be greater than that of the darkness.
When light and darkness encounter each other,
the darkness is exposed and destroyed by the light.
