In the wilderness of my being, I find enchantment in the rich rhythms of dark neo-classical beats. And as I rise up from a long sleep, from a slumber, I embrace the will that pulls me forward. In conversation with the philosopher Nick Gall, we talked about how it is not the will power within us that determines our sequences but rather the will power that has a power over us, our motivations and inspirations, which will pull us into the future. In Islam there is a notion of Fana Al Fana, erasing the erased. We must erase ourselves to experience reality in its most sublime form. We must paradoxically submit to be free, to be a vessel, for that which is more truly us than we are. We must embrace our inner reality as beyond the shells of ego and splintered psychologies. We are that which we are. Embrace it. Let the dark mystery swallow you whole, and then wait for the dawn, rejoicing in the rays of sun that inspire us into a dance of the mind.

@dianalokada Very helpful hahaha

[Christophe Porot @PorotChristophe]

Dark and dreary dreams dazzle dormant dahlias. A sumptuous blackness coats the skies at night. A calming frozen black lake reflects the moon on its eerie surface.  And somewhere in between the hidden meaning of these seemingly sublime encounters lies the key to life. Accept the darkness as uncritically as you accept the light, and you will see it for what it truly is: beauty. An accompanying beauty masking herself as pain when she is the blanket that warms you mid winter, the breeze that cools you mid summer, the leaves that mesmerize mid autumn, and midnight ice crackling through a defrosting brook in early spring. Darkness comes to your side when the pain seems unendurable, and she helps you live through it. Embrace her divinity, and all the beauties of the world seem so pale in comparison to that cherished companion…. Oh darkness, my sweet darkness, thank you tor always being there when I needed you the most.
