Darkness Quote by Rebecca Campbell
““I believe that the darkness is a birthing process and that, in order to find your light, first you need to venture through the shadows of your ego. I believe that in order to be a light in the world, you first need to come home to who you truly are and then bravely show it to all those around you.””

![“I do not know what is happening. The reason of my waking mind tells me that great evil has befallen and we stand at the end of days. But my heart says nay; and all my limbs are light, and a hope and joy are come to me that no reason can deny. [...] I do not believe that darkness will endure!” quote by Anonymous](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/03e/anonymous-1_believe_i-do-not-know-what-is-happening-the-reas_1944425.jpg)
