The darkest places need the most light.

These images are stunning reminders of the human condition that needs to be dark so we can fill it with light. To see.

You don't have to be a survivor in Japan, a protester in Lebanon, or a demonstrator in Egypt. Your life is spectacular. Every tragedy - personal and world scale - is an opportunity to create. To make what you'll take.

But caution! The lighter you try to live, the heavier you'll get to. Ask for strength and you'll carry burdens. Ask to see, and you'll be aware of the obstacles.
