Darkness Quote by Jane Meredith
““There may be one or two balancing factors. One is in understanding that our culture’s wholesale determination to eternally remain in, and only cohort with the light creates a build up where those of us who give any room, at all, to darkness may find ourselves swamped not just by a personal backlog (though there’s that, as well), but by a cultural and societal backlog.””
