Darkness Less Than Light

Darkness is scary, not only because it contains the unknown, but because it IS the unknown. 

It can infest, transform, manipulate and takeover our souls. 

Darkness is scary, because we can become so damaged, lost, and insecure that we forget who we really are, and begin producing a dull and damaged personality. 

It only takes a single drop a black ink to blemish our lives and begin us down empty and lonesome path. 

However, a single sip of golden light can fuel our souls fire, driving us towards healing, health, happiness, comfort and love.

Darkness is always around, trying to creep into our lives, and at times it will succeed. 

We need only to surround ourselves with those who provide the light for us to ingest and cast that darkness out of our bodies, minds, hearts and souls! Darkness is less than Light!
