Shadows are part of what makes us whole.

Except behind them are worlds of the unknown

And The unknown makes us even more aware of what we were meant to be.

An orchard full of surprises and clearings of more future references.

But the unknown soon gets consumed by the darkness.

Its true that darkness is the absence of light, but light is the absence of the unknown.

Once the unknown consumes the light, then and only then will the orchard be in view

Thats why the orchard is the best part of the terrain

It shows how beautiful darkness can conceal its light

And it unveils the lovely place that is the unknown
