"Someone I once loved gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift."~Mary Oliver

This was a message I really needed today. I hope it opens up a litte space in your heart, too.

For more insight on finding your way out of darkness, some questions for reflection and the healing powers and guiding light of the Star card (this week's Tarot card of the week) visit the website of Beth Owl's Daughter.

As Beth Owl says, "The Star is the peace that follows the storm. It points to a time of healing, renewal, and finding the authentic truth of our experiences. After the dust of change and undoing finally settles, we learn to be at peace, even in the deepest dark...

How do you find your way in the darkest times?"
