the lights of love

With only a few days left in this month’s theme of Love, I choose to share this inspiring post with you, from Broken Light.

Murakami once said something to the effect of “you can only know darkness because of light”.

I agree. One cannot exist without the other. Suffering and Hope co-exist. Even if it’s hard and near impossible, trust that there is life and activity beneath the frozen ground. Trust, because it is true.

Be well and be kind.

And may you all have Light (and Hope) even in your darkest moments.

Photo taken by contributor Kyle Anderson, a man from Saskatchewan, Canada. Kyle is a 41-year-old health care professional who has battled depression and addiction for most of his life. He escapes by letting the camera become his mind’s eye, and hopes that each photo he takes allows others to see the world as he sees it, even for a split second.

About this photo:

I call this submission ‘the Lights of Love’, not just because it was taken on Valentine’s Day, but because it show us that even in the darkest of night our lights can shine in heavenly beauty.

The Lights of Love.
