ChiaroscuroOur life is like unto a tree, both dark and light it must see. The dark is needful for its water. The light brings sun and thus its power. If all were one, or perhaps the other, growth would never be the way. But, because we have both sun and water, growth continues day-by-day. For even though each comes singly, the effects of each become co-mingly: The water is needful for the sun, to allow its purpose to be done. The dark is needful for the light to make our lives both straight and right. |
