"In my darkness, I have seen the horrible flaws of a simple man. In my light, I have felt the simple joy of a wonderfully flawed human being." ~ Patrick K. McGuire

This means, in a way, that true light is dependent on the presence of other lights. Take the others away and darkness results. Yet the reverse is not true: take away darkness and there is only more darkness. Darkness can exist by itself. Light cannot.

It’s not the light that’s attracting me, but the darkness that’s driving me on.

The door closed and darkness claimed the room.

Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark. Begin at the beginning. Tell Gregory a story. Make some light.
