I am beginning to wonder if these moments of tormenting darkness, these moments of being broken wide open, are when new life is being born and we do not know it yet? Could it be like a winter that opens into spring? My experience tells me my darkness birthed a brilliant new light in my heart and in my life. My long dark winter has opened into brilliant blossoms of wondrous spring. My hope is that in sharing my simple experience you too will find your spark and keep it.
