a little light, a little peace

This is dedicated to my family, friends, and homies in the slam.

3:11 a.m.

Humans are active during the day; it is an evolutionary to keep our deepest fears, regrets, and terrors manageable when we can be supported by light. I found out this experience last night, just how vulnerable one can be in the early hours of the morning.

Almost all religions and belief systems use light imagery; heck, every movie usually alludes to it in some way. We are beings of the sun regardless of the details of how we manifest this praise. Night, though, is not an enemy; it is just different. I enjoy the night on many occasions, but as it is not our natural state it is harder. Your mind can take over, overwhelm you, and punish you. This can happen in the daytime but it is magnified by the dark.

I pray for balance because it makes us strongest as there is light and dark in each one of us.
