We yearn so hard and long to be rid of darkness. Yet without dark, there is no shadow. And without shadow, there is no depth perception. Without any depth perception, we have no sense of direction, no sense of what is near or far. In our need to find our way, we are asked not to bypass darkness but to work with it and through it.
Work through the darkness.
I hope this is what Anna and Stuart are learning. There will always be darkness. COVID caused darkness in so many people’s lives. What we thought life would look like is not how it is. And that is ok. Work through it. Don’t be attached to the way you wanted it to be, embrace the way it is.
