But the darkness contains half of our experience reservoir. It is art to be found and make visible. In stories, to be interesting, a conflict is set up, then resolved. In music, a pattern is extablished, the broken, dissonance and resolution. In food, it's sour, bitter, salt, and sweet. A back and forth of flavor. A subject may be dark yet evoke hope or remedial action.
What is inside the darkness? Anxiety about vague outcomes, confrontation of our bad impulses, dreams of things we won't admit to. The threat of embarrassment if our limitations are discovered. Can we name the dark things even to ourselves? Can we experience the art while in the darkness? Some of the self-perceived light bringers don't. And the empty, darkness is not without substance. That which is dark brings enlightenment. And that which is light can be blind to beauty, and bring destruction of much great value.
