Darkness - Day 3

Darkness is a passive state. And it is very patient. It doesn’t fight the invading light. Instead, it just moves to the corners, always there, just not noticed. And when the light loses interest, as it always does, and leaves -- darkness brings forth its fullness and engulfs all.

Today, I am making real progress. It is Saturday, so no gitting to be done. I lay in my conclave, letting the light that remains inside me pass out until all that I can see, all that I can feel is dark.

You can’t push the light out. In fact, you don’t even need to push it out. You just need to open the conduits and wait – it will leave.

And today, I have opened more conduits that I ever have before. I thought I might feel a falling sensation, but that was silly. Darkness is a void. How could it cause you to fall.

Peace. That what I feel. Peace. Peace and tranquility and silence. Engulfed by the basic material of the universe – darkness.

“Johnny?”

Peace where nothing is everything and all is dark.

“Johnny, come up here right now! Its time to eat supper. You’ve been down there all day.”

Peace where the nothing triumphs over the something. How can you worry, when there is nothing? Maybe the first person to say “there is nothing to worry about” was really saying “there is nothing to worry about.”

Clump…clump…clump…clump

“Johnny, come out from there.”

Nothing to worry about. Only nothing.

“Oh my God! Johnny! Johnny! Wake up Johnny! Tom! Tom! Turn on the lights and come down here. Something is wrong with Johnny….”

Nothing but darkness.
