One could say that the beginning of life is rather dark, for all light had to come out of somewhere. From the moment of our creation, we sit within the dark abyss of our mother's womb, waiting for the day of our birth. At that glorious moment, we are exposed to the fresh air and light of the world around us. We slowly grow up, our physical and mental bodies developing more and more as we experience the wonders of the world. We learn to breathe, eat, speak, walk, and create. Soon the time comes that we meet others around us. We make good friends who seem to complete us. Together, hand in hand, we grow. School provides a challenge that we hope to overcome, developing the skills that we need for the rest of our lives. As our schooling comes to an end, we seek not to better our intellectual knowledge, but our connections with those around it. Those friendships that we created in our childhood have grown. Bonds have been created that can not be broken. Soon, we find love. From that love, we decide to devote ourselves to one another in holy matrimony. As we grow older and wiser, we strengthen the bonds between us. Eventually, we feel that we are ready to bring more life and light out of the darkness. A child is born. We watch our children grow, just as we had. They develop the bonds and the memories that we formed in our youth. Seeing it happen before our eyes helps us understand life even more as we enter our elder years. As our life comes to an end, we reflect on those memories that we created, watching them pass by through our minds as our eyes slowly close. We contentedly fall asleep, the light of our lives fading into a soft... deep... darkness, waiting to start anew... perhaps in another life.
