Darkness
Here comes another brainwave...

Went into the kitchen to wash a cup just now.. and it would seem so normal if not for the absence of light on a 10 plus evening. The only light was from the stove, boiling water with a blue-ish flame and all else was dark.

How mysterious, this darkness that we all grow to be so unaccustomed save for the time when we go to sleep. How many of us actually get the chance to walk in total darkness doing things that was supposed to be in the light? Walking from point A to B? Simply to get to the other side of the corridor? Strolling under the moon light?

Its a total different world when we get to do that, you feel that you are challenged, you are put into the vulnerable. You feel different because it is different.

Remember this junior of mine asked how it is that i am not scared walking alone in the middle of the night from the staff lounge to the toilet at the ava room, and i was unable to give him a very good answer. Today it dawns upon me why so; because it is simply different. Accept the darkness and not imagine it to be what you perceived it to be and the experience will develop.

How about trekking in the middle of the jungle or on a mountain? It is exactly the same feeling. Still remember doing night navigation when i was in OBS and when we paused for a rest, the darkness was so serene. Stars in the night sky and everyone all looking at it at the same time.. it was magical.

Or talking about the things in the deepest depths of our hearts when we have friends who would share with us at the magical moment... we pour forth our emotions and we talked about the things that really mattered... sometime the darkness can be so....

So how was your darkness? How do u deal with it?
