[MD] dark night

[MarshaV]

Hi Joe,

Is DQ dark night???  Or is dark night the pointless suffering in a world filled with attachment to violent (false) static patterns and a false sense of control?   Maybe it is the confusion that seems darkest before the dawn?  Fear of letting go?  Why?  No guarantees?  Lost expectations?  Why chaos and not fear-free Oneness?  Fear of there being nothing to know and no one to know it.
