the blaCk

Black is not darkness, but shadows of the light — it has never been subject to anything but itself. Its position is determined by its perception. It contains the full spectrum of life. In possessing self it posses its destiny, not by force but placid solitude. It’s origin is itself. power resides where it decides — and still, now is all. The work that needs doing to bring change is always carried out beneath. There is no external power greater than stillness. To change self is to change your world. History is littered with such. Energy confined is a part of mind, the cell is not a jail but where creation is defined. The outer world is a reflection from within. External stride is a fading tide. For even fame, belongs not to celebrity but the crowd. Like fickle fortune and shiny things, all must yield to the dark. You can never possess anything but self – seize that and all else will bowl to it.
