    This quote explores the notion of jumping into the unknown, believing in being worthy and having enough, and having the courage and bravery to step out of line and be different and unique. Jumping into the unknown and stepping out of comfort zones are one of the fears that all are afraid of.

The pain of loss and change, going into a place of complete darkness where no light can shine to give relief, makes all feel vulnerable, small, and fragile and the thought where everybody is better is very daunting. Being different where everyone else is the same is like being the white in the black or the black in the white. Feeling ashamed…

    When you find yourself in an obstacle that you can not escape or at your lowest point, your soul and mind become dark and you feel that have no way out, you begin to see life very differently. You now are able to analyze the world, and shift through all the bells and whistles in it and see the truth, which was once hidden from you. I think that is exactly that Theodore Roethke meant when he wrote "In a dark time, the eye begins to see,..." Personally, I agree fully with Roethke's statement. Roethke's ideology is found in both "Night" by Elie Wiesel and "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. In both novels the protagonists are faced with obstacles which seem impossible to overcome, however once they reach "rock bottom" they realize how they shall over come their situation.…
