Dear friend,

I know you carry me within you.

I can cause unrest.
I cause trouble.
I cause pain.

Sometimes, I come out of nowhere like a whirlwind.
And other times I linger like heavy morning fog. 

Often you think of me as a burden. Unwanted. Unnecessary.
You fight me. You ignore me. You bury me.

And I understand.

But today I want to share another part of me. If you let me.

I will wrap you gently in my velvet hug.
I will help you slow down.
Turn off your defenses.
Listen in.

I will carry you through new worlds. Never leaving your side.
Allow yourself to surrender to me.
Trust me.
This time.
Together we will explore the unknown and imagine the impossible.

Join me in change.

Sincerely,

DARKNESS
