The Presence Of Chaos In Your Soul
by Evan Sanders
"You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star." - Nietzsche
"Go to the deepest darkest place you can permit yourself to be and see if you can find a little light up in the top right corner?"
Yes, I saw that little light. For years, I thought that light was something by the name of resilience. What I didn't know was that the light was really joy. How could joy exist in this extraordinarily dark moment? How could joy be present in this awful and terrible time?
It's hard to forget what that moment felt like. Everything was completely black, the darkest black you could ever imagine. I don't know if you've ever seen a table that has been lacquered thousands upon thousands of times, but the blackness seems to be endless. This time in my life felt exactly like one of those tables and I didn't really understand how light and dark could both exist at the same time.
I realize now that there was the presence of light, I just wasn't looking for it.
It's complicated, the idea of returning back to this place. There are so many things that are buried there that I'd rather not go back and explore. But I know that this is the place that I need to explore. This is the place that I need to discover because there are many gifts of learning there. It's very easy to be scared of this place and to wonder why you would ever want to go back, but that's the place where the magic is.
If I could bring light into this place and let my compassion follow as well, there's no amount of healing that couldn't be accomplished. I could heal the wounds of old times that have been requesting my attention. I could live a life that was out of love instead of in fear. That would change everything.
It's time to dive in fully.
Lantern in hand.
