Yesterday we lit the candle of Hope, the first light of the Advent. Afterward, we shared in our Service of Comfort and Healing in the beautiful Fleming Chapel.
In the intimate gathering with fellow strugglers, I tried to express the important point that the light of hope does not drive out the darkness. It accompanies the darkness. It warms the darkness.
The darkness remains. The darkness belongs. The darkness is a companion with a spirit and a voice also.
Fellow strugglers, in these days of diminished light, may we let the darkness speak and also be loved.
