It is often referred to as "A Dark Night of the Soul"but that is not accuratethe soul is incapable of experiencing a "dark night"the soul is the observerthe soul is the navigatorSometimes when the soul takes the helm and starts to let its purpose be knownyou feel great sadness, resistance and doubtthat darkness before the dawn so to speakthat is not a dark night for the soulthat is A Dark Night of the EGO!When there is a great disparity between the purpose of the soul and the will of the EGOit feels as if your life has jumped the railsyou are lost, off course, alone and adriftbut the soul is never off course or lostIt IS your internal GPS to your destinyto your life's purposeThe EGO sees things so black and whiteit makes up your mind that there is only one wayit never spreads out a whole mapit never looks around dark cornersIt can convince you that the emotion behind apparent failureor death or any loss is unsurvivablethe soul knows that is a lieIt is eternal.There is never darkness for the soul!when you have a dark nightthe soul is the small whisper that shines a lightit gets you out of bedit gets you to walk in natureit helps you start to appreciate beauty againthe soul is the one that finds something funny, when you never thought you'd laugh again!
