I created this to show hope.

Every life has dark times, where we feel we are climbing through the ruins that have become our life. Even very devout Christians and followers of other religions/beliefs will experience what the Rosicrucians call "the dark night of the soul", where everything you believe is challenged and put to the test. Not only are our lives torn asunder, but the one thing we have always relied on is not working for us any longer.

So we crawl, wounded and bleeding over the ruins, searching.

May there truly be a "light at the end of the tunnel", an open window where there were only closed doors, a silver lining to your storm clouds, a beacon in the dark .
