Affects of Light

That we should battle with insecurity is quite unfortunate. That we should have these bouts within ourselves is even worse.

But what are insecurities but failures in the visions of ourselves?

On one hand I realize that I must contend with the forces of better claims than mine - theirs are perhaps more beautiful, fancy, fine. On the other, I realize that being and receiving should not stop with the senses. In this insistence I find hope, for who can really say that their vision is necessarily better?

Some nights I dream of rainbows too - with tinges of red and yellow and blue.
