Light makes our surroundings more enjoyable, and darkness I always associate with apprehension. Thanks for sharing.

Yes we need the inner light also Elizabeth Moreso indeed' I wish yours will burn bright In these times of manufacured darkness To keep your way, unto the day.'

This can be true in more than one sense, my inner darkness comes mostly at night... memories I run from. Love when short ones are multifaceted! Wonderful Elizabeth

Nice to hear from you, Victor! My then three-year old is now a journalist so I guess he was in training! Elizabeth
