He says I’ve made Him better; that I’ve changed His life for the better. Does He know it’s because I’ve swallowed His darkness? I love all dark creatures because I am a dark creature. And I love all light creatures because I am a light creature. I walk the day and the night. Would you like to know which I prefer? That mostly depends on my mood. Although admittedly, I tend to lean towards the dark. For it is the dark creatures that cry out more for love. You cannot truly love someone without knowing them. And you cannot know someone without seeing and feeling as they see and feel. So I swallowed His darkness that I might Know Him.
And now I am choking on darkness. I have a visceral urge to reject it; to dam the stream that is polluting my ocean. Or there is another way… I can expand my consciousness; increase my depth so that I can swallow His darkness without being violated by it.
“In truth, man is a polluted river. One must be a sea to receive a polluted river without becoming defiled. I bring you the Overman! He is that sea; in him your great contempt can be submerged.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)
