Light And Darkness Quotes - Dunia Sosial

Light seems brightest when seen in the darkest dark. Yet darkness can be all but eliminated by the brightness of light. When in a balanced contrast, each is often seen clearer. Although their differences when compared are quite stark, Both darkness and light have the potential to provide great insight. Each has qualities that can make things seem dearer. Once while meditating on a bench in the park, I had a sensation of my soul taking flight. Wisdom and Truth suddenly seem nearer. Through space and time, I flew like a lark. I tried to remain there with all my might. Guided by the light, I wasn’t the steerer. From darkness or light, the Truth we’ll still see. Truth is at home inside both you and me. Guiding us through life to our destiny.

Being an ordinary person makes it easier for me, just have to be myself ... like the buy said, "they're gonna make me a big star, all I got to do is act naturally." Thanks for the compliment, Duke. Have a pleasant evening. Bill

Very insightful comment, my friend. We all have to deal with both, like ying, yang, we are the thin line that both touch. Your poet friend in Texas, Bill

'from darkness or light, the truth we'll still see' is a brilliant line, my friend. The truth is the truth no matter where we find it.

Dear Bill, Your exploration of the interplay between light and darkness, not just as physical phenomena but as symbolic representations of insight and truth, is truly striking. The amazing way you capture the essence of contrast and balance between light and darkness speaks volumes about the complexity of human experience. Your words, particularly the sensation of your soul taking flight while meditating in the park, evokes a sense of transcendence and spiritual awakening. Your closing lines, emphasizing the universality of truth and its guidance through life’s journey, leave a lasting impression on me. Bill, this is such a thought-provoking piece. Great Piece. - Blessings, Daniel
