When Darkness Comes

When darkness comes,
stand tall.
Hold your flaming sword,
steady your torch.
Relax and let the wave gush through you.
Pray.
Find God in your heart
and give thanks for what is good.
Look upon the Heavens and ask the stars for guidance.
Gently untie the knots of worry and fear,
so that you may sooth the troubled one
with a joyful dance.

Anna, I really liked reading the line, "gently untie your knots of fear". When I was younger and would feel bound up and overwhelmed by tension and anxiety I would do just that. I would lie in bed and picture my tension as a gigantic knotted ball of twine and slowly untangle it by picturing each person or situation from which I felt tension, and reduce it to something that I could unwind and let go. It was nice to read your line and remember all of that.
