Prelude
Infinity plus one
When darkness is at its darkest,
That is the beginning of all light
Lao Tzu
Ignited needles pierce the delicate cloak; an imperceptible facade enclosing the shadowed orb deep within dream’s enchantment. The imminent light startles those consumed by darkness.
The infested sphere, tethered in orbit by the taut allure of a shimmering master. A ceaseless trajectory in delicate balance; the constant struggle between collapse and escape.
Twilight greets the dances immersed in shadows. Impassioned whirls, spontaneous celebrations of our planet’s luminous attraction. Gyrations perceived by what moves sky yonder. Impetuous enchantment, endure thy darkened plight. Forever turning into darkness. Ever awakening to the light.
The grand light reveals our home, planet earth. Innumerable generations have traveled the well-worn path, whilst beyond, endures eternal space.
Here, where it is so easy to get lost in the multitude, he is one. He is more than one of the many, for he is one more. Having lived for so long in darkness, he resists the light. “The true light which enlightens all, shines in darkness. And the darkness shall never overcome it”. (John 1:5,9)
