Walk until the darkness is a memory and you become the sun on the next traveler's horizon.

A beam in darkness: let it grow.

Reach out for the light, yes, but love your shadows too.

I wanted to run away from everything but I wanted to run towards something too. Don't you see, dear, how it was?

When you go home you ought to go like a ray of light — so that it will, even in the night, burst out of the doors and windows and illuminate the darkness.

[Henry] "...when you start running from yourself, you end up in some pretty dark places."

Run towards the roar,’ the old people used to tell the young ones. When faced with great danger and when people panic and seek a false sense of safety, run towards the roaring and go where you fear to go. For only in facing your fears can you find some safety and a way through. When the world rattles and the end seems near, go towards the roar.

Shine by the side of every path we tread With such a luster, he that runs may read.

Come, blessed Darkness, come and bring thy balm
For eyes grown weary of the garish day!
Come with thy soft, slow steps, thy garments gray,
Thy veiling shadows, bearing in thy palm
The poppy-seeds of slumber, deep and calm.

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.

If you don’t shine you are darkness.

from “Tomorrow

One of the main takeaways was that you have to work hard in the dark to shine in the light.

Even with these dark eyes, a gift of the dark night
I go to seek the shining light.

O lead me onward to the loneliest shade,
The darkest place that quiet ever made,
Where kingcups grow most beauteous to behold
And shut up green and open into gold.
