The greatest magic you have is the
courage to go digging for,
when your world falls apart,
the light you still hold,
when everything has grown dark
(Nikita Gill, pg. 24, no title)
I read a poem called “Endings”
which is a fine poem but in no way
did I want to write about endings
given what has happened in my life
these last couple weeks,
so I turned the page and found six lines that said
it all about the courage to find the light in the dark
and I’d say most of the time I’m doing that,
and I know my years of spiritual practice
has served me well, while at the same time
I know I can get caught in the trap again, but
each time I will find my way out faster.
Finding light in the darkness is definitely a practice
