“I live in the light,
But carry my dark with me.”

“I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.”

“Living Memory
I carry you with me into the world,
into the smell of rain
& the words that dance between people
& for me, it will always be this way,
walking in the light,
remembering being alive together”

“Darkness will never take me… because I have you. Light of my life, Marissa. That's what you are."
-Butch and Marissa”

“When life descends into the pit
I must become my own candle
Willingly burning my self
To light up the darkness around me.”

“Let me light my lamp", says the star, "And never debate if it will help to remove the darkness”

“My wife was afraid of the dark… then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light. ”

“Shall I turn up the light for you?

No, give me deeper darkness. Money is not made in the light.”

“There is no need to carry me to another prison. My life is already ebbing away. I suggest that you nail me to a cross and burn me alive. My flaming body will be a torch to light my people on their path to freedom.”

“To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I am and what God’s grace means.”
