This video inspired the emotion of this writing... Listening to their stories feels like.... watching someone dragging their fears from the dark and into the shadows. It's not labeled as theirs, but it's on the edge of the light - and that at least is a step in the right direction...
Light's Edges
5/5/16
There are shadows
Touching
Edges,
Memories,
Pieces of your past...
And you don't know how to let them go.
Do not be afraid -
There is One who has seen your darkness
and sings for you to come.
Drag your darkness into the shadows.
He will bear the load, should you let
Him.
Press your fears to the very edge of
the Light...
Now hold it there.
Wait.
Push it a little closer to the warmth.
Breathe.
Fight the desire to flee again to the
blackness.
Let your fears begin to melt in the
Light.
Slowly.
Slowly -
Press your darkness into the warmth so
it can be seen.
Let Him pry your fingers from their
trembling hold
And let it go.
Relax as the Light spills over you.
Now rest, for His Dawn is upon you.

So hard. So so raw. And courageous. I don't know many people who would be so real. It is thought-provoking, yes, but it also makes me wonder. About people around me, about myself. Thank you for sharing... <3
