Sometimes it seems like walking a spiritual path as one faces the spaces of darkness within there is something even deeper going on.  It is as though the process itself is asking one to unearth everything he or she knows about themselves and take a look.  No wonder it seems so daunting and painful.  If excavating is what we imagine it means to live a spiritual life or walk a spiritual path I can see why most people would rather just keep their dark sides buried.  I am not sure if the life I  had built for myself did not crumble to pieces and fall apart that I would have sought a spiritual solution.  Being asked to wake up by life and take a look at the darkness I was running from was not easy.  But as God has shown me on our dates each day, it is simple.  Just like an archaeologist excavates a site by picking one section at a time, I do not need to tackle it all at once.  Plus I have a team of people who are working with me.  Excavating becomes enlightening and exploratory instead of fearful and daunting.
