Darkness Quote by Sue Monk Kidd
“Rebirth is almost impossible without the darkness…I tell myself I am experiencing the death of myself as mother, the death of myself as a younger woman -- precious old lives going by the wayside. Of course, I should let myself grieve. To deny the grief is to squander a transforming and radiant possibility.”
