Contrast is everything. Light without darkness is meaningless. Darkness without light is meaningless. So we're haphazard combinations of the two so we can have meaning. It doesn't make life easy, but it does make it meaningful.
Yes, it sounds kinda pompous but I believe it to be true. :-)
I relocated from sunny, beachy California to the Emerald City because I heard that every new resident got a pair of ruby shoes. (Someone lied!) (Okay, I’m gullible.) A non-profit event planner by day and an apartment manager by night, I spend my free time blogging about my neurosis (fine, neuroses because yes they are plentiful), being crafty, pretending I’m the next American Idol, and searching for a decent taco in a town that boasts of teriyaki joints on every corner.

It's nothing to shine in the light, anyone can do it; it's when the dark hits that it becomes so much more difficult-and so much more necessary.
great quote.
