As always, I love your wonderful writing voice, and I appreciate the work you put into these reflective posts. It feels like I have a comment for your posts every day!

"I do realize my title to this post is a very un-enlightened thing to say, but it’s the truth, and I’m so damn committed to truth at this time in my life."

-The title is not unenlightened at all. That's not an unenlightened thing to say. It's one thing to be highly illuminated, or free, and it is quite another thing to be comfortable and unchallenged. Insulated. Unplugged.

And there is comfort in numbers.

Numbness isn't Light. Nor is daydreaming. Right?
The tides aren't wrong. The Moon is not mistaken.
And the storms have their place too.

Sometimes the storm happens to us. Sometimes we are the storm.
But you can't kill the Moon, and why would you?

It's just reflecting.
