The Dark - We Hate It, We Seek it

The Dark seems to repel us at times and attract us at others. I was in
a marriage where I was daily called "Mr. Sh!thead" or
"Sh!t-for-brains". This went on for over 10 years. For about 2 years,
I rebelled and forced or insisted on being addressed with a modicum of human decency. She rebelled to my rebellion and modified her
treatment, but didn't improve it. For 3 more years, when addressed - I answered.

Being called the names hurt me. Answering to the names killed me. I
was dark. I expected that this was how I would die. I actually found
myself feeling that I could welcome death. Death was a way out of the dark Hell.

When it was darkest, I met a mate that was Sunshine. There is nothing adequate to describe the birth from that darkness to this light.
Daylight is so bright.

In the Light, we have created a life that is supportive and nurturing.
Our personal life, business life, religious life, family life. We have
nothing we could ask for more of.

Growing old together is all the pleasure it should be.

And in this light, we have carved an area where we use (a lower-case)dark for our benefit. Part of our relaxation is that we are nudists or naturists and we get away to resorts and we practice that life at home also - and to be safe from rejection of our peers and loved ones ...
we keep it in the dark.
