see how this feels: if you kiss the worst darkness you have made peace with all of it... you have made love to all of it.... you have unveiled the appearance where love stands behind.... you have freed yourself from your judgments. that which within you would be most repelled is also that within you that you are most afraid of. you kiss that, and your fear is gone.... you make love to it and you heal it... you embrace that part of yourself that you see as the worst darkness. you make love to your polar opposite and you resolve the paradox of light and dark in your union. 4-18-01
