penny,

this was a very inspiring and emotional post. thank you for sharing your experiences and perspectives. i would venture to say that alot of us have a "rescuer" mentality, and your analogy of the lighthouse was both provocative and ground-breaking for me personally - it helped me to form a new perspective on my role as a "supporter" (i.e., server of others). :d

the hardship and pain of these "dark nights of the soul", or david's "initiations" (similar?) do result in strengthening us. similar to all of the other paradoxes in life - we get taken to the breaking point only to come out stronger and better for having lived and learned from these experiences.

thank you again for sharing those inspiring words!
