Into the Light

“The baby bat
Screamed out in fright,
'Turn on the dark,
I'm afraid of the light.” 
― Shel Silverstein

Sometimes we really don't like to be "in the light," for the light reveals all flaws. Whether it's physical or spiritual, it's easier to linger in the shadows rather than come out into the light and have everything, good and bad, exposed for all to see. But light is what we should all strive for, because light is truth,
whether we like it or not.
And without truth, nothing else matters.
