I shall not be overcome

Darkness is not my enemy, it’s my friend.

It’s a part of divine beauty, created with the same amount of attention and intention as light

It speaks differently, feels differently, and moves differently

But it’s intent isn’t harm.

Darkness makes room for our fears and most secretive selves to be

It pushes us to confront what cannot be avoided in order to authentically learn ourselves

It teaches how to move different, speak different, BE different.

I cannot be overcome by that which enlightens and builds me

Darkness teaches me that at the core of all my fears, is another part of my divine, magical self waiting to be freed.

While my spirit may glide visibly in the light, the darkest of night speaks to my soul.

I can’t have one without the other

Evolution consists of both

May I learn to become fluent in the language of both, so that I shall not be overcome.
