Yes. Some kinds of "dark" are beneficial; certainly not all. Thank you, Dan. Love and peace,

So much of my creativity comes from my "Lonely Room". The darkness will always be there, we just have to have the courage to explore and exploit it. "When those critics light grows dim, while dark places expand within", maybe the darkness that they experience will lead to some much needed enlightenment....

An unusual poem, DJ. I guess people can find peace in

in those quiet,
dark and peaceful spaces.

I much prefer getting out in the light of day. It's a whole lot healthier. We'll have enough darkness when we go to the stars

Aye... for it makes no matter what others think...
it is only to fulfill themselves... for they only
delight in tearing others asunder which actually they
see within them-self... Therefore, they should bugger off eh?

Repentance bah, balderdash... be who you are and say what you
feel we are but mortal man on a path walking our own life and
we learn along the way... love ourselves...

Love and Light

Sometimes darkness is necessary for growth, a seed must grow in the ground(dark space)...yet one day it becomes a beautiful plant.

DAN... Like all pairs of Dichotomy... good-evil, right-wrong, up-down, etc...
Darkness helps us to appreciate Light.

I hear you, DL, my problem with those dark places over the years is that, although they were dark, they were anything but peaceful.
