Light is a form of darkness.
Look at these leaves burn their way through the snow, precisely because they are dark.
Darkness is a form of energy.
Notice how bright it is!
Notice, too, that it is the snow that is dark.
Against it, the dark trees are light (or, at least, bright).
In the earliest form of all European languages, black and light were the same thing. The glare or brightness of all the elements in the elm tree below were, to our ancestors, the same startling presence.
You can see a discussion of that here:
Flame: the energy form of passage and transition, present, understood and anticipated, usually manifesting as a leaf of fire, the fire in a leaf, or the potential fire in coal.
Leaf Burning Through the Snow
That’s from my earth language blog www.earthwords.net
I’m working on what I hope will be tomorrow’s post, about how these observations about light and dark impact culture, science, and art, and what lies beyond the divisions currently accepted as ‘real’. I want to take the time to get it right, so, in the meantime, an image to contemplate:
 Sun Burning Through Fog Behind Giant Rye Grass
 Light? Dark? Colour? It’s all the same thing…almost. Tomorrow we’ll talk about that.

How to re blog this?

Click on the blue date on the line under the header image. It says “Posted on February 5, 2015”. That lets you get to the bottom of the post easily.
Then go to the bottom, below my text and before the comments. There are a number of buttons you can click. One is “Reblog”.
If you don’t click the blue date, you have to scroll for a zillion years to get to the bottom. I think you have pointed out a glitch. I’m going to have to find a better place for those buttons, if it’ll let me.
Thanks!
best,
Harold
