Commune with me…

STEP INTO THE DARKNESS

I can’t—I’m afraid

OF WHAT?

Of the unknown

I’TS NOT UNKNOWN TO ME

Still, I’m afraid

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GROW—YOU ASKED ME HOW

I didn’t know I’d have to leave the light

ALWAYS

But I’m afraid

THEN STAY IN THE LIGHT

You’re right—but I’m still afraid

THINK BACK TO THE LAST TIME YOU STOOD AT THE EDGE OF THE LIGHT—

HOW DID YOU FEEL?

Fearful

BUT YOU STEPPED INTO THE DARK, NONE-THE-LESS

Yes—and after the first step, it was light

SO WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?

Because, what if it isn’t?

I PROMISE IT WILL BE

Then why the initial darkness?

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GROW

So…the growth is in the darkness?

YOU TELL ME

It wasn’t around long enough for me to learn anything in it or from it

ARE YOU SURE?

Well…I learned to overcome fear

IS THAT ALL?

…I guess I learned to trust you

STEP INTO THE DARKNESS

You mean ‘step into the light’

YOU’RE GROWING!
