Thanks, that helps a lot.

The Dutch context (sorry) ! 'De densiteit van de dingen wordt bepaald door de schakering van licht. Elke leven is een wisselwerking van donkerte en licht, verdriet en vreugde, wanhoop en hoop. De doelstelling is door het bos 's nachts te betreden, de innerlijke angsten te leren herkennen, en die leren los te laten. Het is een uitnodiging om angsten die ons beletten ons leven in perspectief te zetten, te overwinnen en onze eigen duisternis achterwege te laten. Want de draagkracht van licht is groter dan die van de duisternis.' (Thanks and sorry)

Thanks, but that's the translation, not the source text (or are you translating English to Dutch?)

JanKG (asker) Mar 5, 2008:

Context for 'draagkracht' You're right, Ken. This is the text but I am still working on the translation (hints welcome): '‘The density of things is determined by the shades of light. Every life is an interplay of darkness and light, Sorrow and joy, despair and hope. What we do [Our intention is] to walk the forest at night,
To recognize our inmost fears, and to let them go. It invites you [is an invitation] to overcome [surmount ???] the [our] fears that prevent us from giving our life an orientation [a perspective/ putting it in perspective ???],
and leave our own darkness behind. As the [bearing/uplifting (thanks, LJWvL)] power of light is stronger than that of darkness.’

As this sentence is the logical extension of the previous sentence(s), it would be helpful to have them for context.
