light

"The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you."
Maori Proverb

    That picture speaks volume. There are many things in life that can shed great light on our darkness we just have to open our eyes.
