A MEDITATION ON DARKNESS

All life begins in darkness;

the
darkness of the womb or the soil.

Light is false. Only darkness is
truth.

Light is a reflection of shadows,
light can be

reflected,
refracted, bent.

The speed of light is not the
ultimate.

Darkness of the absence of
transmitted light,

free
from the intrusion of falsity.

Colours change in the darkness.
Blood is black.

All
cats are grey at night.

Darkness is the time when Man faces
himself.

In darkness, he can comprehend
infinity.
