What makes night within us may leave stars.
― Victor Hugo, Ninety-Three
I like the words above from the last novel, Ninety-Three, from Victor Hugo. They sum up, in a poetic way, my own feelings on what can sometimes happen in the aftermath of those bad things–the darkness and nights– we are doomed to encounter in life.
If we can endure those nights of darkness, we may discover positives among what is left behind.
Stars in the night.
Everything that happens is dependent on our ability to find those stars when the night feels endless and overwhelming.
We must just remember that they are there if only we would look up in the sky for them.
I have to have shared this quotation from Annie Dillard before, but it’s always worth remembering: “You do not have to sit outside in the dark. If, however, you want to look at the stars, you will find that darkness is necessary. But the stars neither require nor demand it.”
Great passage. But sometimes you find yourself in the dark by no choice of you own. Might as well look for the stars.Sent from my Galaxy
