EMPATHETIC MIRROR I hear a pull between darkness as something painful and darkness as something familiar. The phrase seems to matter to you before it has fully explained itself. WHAT I HEAR IN YOUR WORDS - USER LANGUAGE: "walking in darkness," "great light," "I do not know why" - POSSIBLE TENSION: Maybe the image is not only about rescue, but about realizing what had become normal. - WHAT I WILL NOT ASSUME: I will not assume what kind of darkness you mean yet. FIRST QUESTION When you imagine "darkness" here, does it feel more like grief, confusion, danger, numbness, guilt, or the inability to imagine another future?
