Don't Hate The Darkness ~ 365 Photos Challenge #203

As I pointed out in an earlier post, one of my entertainment, passions, or medications for fatigue, burnout, or alignment for my mental, emotional, energy, and spiritual life is walking meditation. The activity I usually do after 12:00 midnight is to get out of the house and walk through the night darkness in areas far from electric light.

From the region I live today, such areas are much easier to find because these are the suburbs. Walking in the dark gives a lot of things besides some variety of physical, mental, and emotional experiences. In such places, we can even hear and see unique unusual things, including seeing things that are not even commonly seen through the eye, let alone captured by the camera.

Quite a few people are still worried about my habit for several reasons, but for me, it is important lessons, rituals, and methods. I can understand the fear of many people over the darkness, even hatred. But I have learned so long to also love the darkness, never to be hostile to it by remembering that as can be realized or taught by the ancestors or also taught in the holy scriptures that the Divine is the Supreme Love itself and asks us to live in Love which means in Him, so why should I fear or hate the darkness? Why should I fear or hate the part of Him? Moreover, from the total darkness within me, I have found my higher-self and the source of eternal peace indefinitely. So, again, why should I stay away from the darkness?

  1. Very interesting perspective, Albert! I don’t mind the darkness, but I don’t particularly prefer it either. I guess we need both darkness and light.

    • Thank you for your thought, Ellie. My apology for so slowly I respond to your comments.

      Yes, you are right, Ellie. Yes, as we need hunger and satiety, that’s how we need dark and light as well, right?

  2. Your photo is incredible and it reminds me, that there is a full lunar eclipse on the way. I will try and make a video of it. I enjoyed this article, thank you, Albert.

  3. I only dislike the darkness for when I can’t see clearly…
    Other than that… it depends on the level of darkness…

    I feel insecure when I can’t see too clearly,
    and I believe this is why many fear or dislike darkness

    • I think darkness is at least a third part of our lives, our sleep time with our eyes closed, dark, though that dark time has neglected because we do not realize it, and from the darkness of sleep, the universe works to restore fitness, health, or heal us.
