510. From Darkness to Light

T: How did you do it?

K: Love did.

T: Just like that?

K: What else is there? What more could there be?

T: Just seems like there should be more.

K: Not everything is Faustian drama.

T: So . . .

K: Yes. Think of it this way. When the light goes on, it matters not if the room has been dark for one hour or ten thousand eons. The Hood, next to papa, might just have been the most extraordinary being I've known in the flesh.

T: So with just a moment of insight, everything changed? Just doesn't seem possible.

K: Such is the power. But I need to correct one thing you assume. I didn't do it.

T: Just having a hard time getting my head around . . .

K: Maybe it's not your head you need to open.

Open hearts give the greatest scope and truth, I do so love to listen to her here, she reminds in her gentle persuasion of Papa (and Von), bright as a button always, here is the voice of experience, that blessed calm that comes with having learned that few things really matter and the rest is just decoration, pretty or gaudy. Post makes me think of the glow of a candle within a room once dark, how just the glow of that single light causes darkness to recede. The Hood commands yet more fascination hearing how she speaks of him here and though nothing in all the world would cause desire to rush the story, it is there in the future like a promise that there will be more, that we will at some point know a little of why as she stands years later on that beach, her opinion is this. Warm and calm tones, as with the chapters that precede on the sand also, view matches tone and action, and in some ways they are reminiscent of the walks that Papa and Kyra took at Valla. Love, love, loving these chapters.
Hope you're having a fabulous day, x

And now, after 10 minutes give or take, I should be able to watch that video. :-D

Yes, it does seem I'm going to have some splaining to do with regard to The Hood. I'd like to tell you I have some master plan but this story just kinda unrolls as it unrolls. :-)
