Silent Sunday

It's "silent" now because my hearing aids are still in the box!  It will be a quiet day, daughter for a couple of "projects" and a visit with my wife.  No plans to start any old habits today, no plans at all.

We human beings seem to prefer to be in the light. Most of us rely on the daylight to move around safely and do our work. In the light we feel like we have more control. At night, when the world is dark, we feel less in control. We do two things: we turn on the lights so we can continue our daytime activity, or we go to sleep.

But darkness has gifts for us—different gifts than we get from light. Darkness changes how we see things. In the dark we see less, but we pay better attention. As we let go of our fears and let our eyes adjust to the dark, we find that we can see more than we first thought. We can see enough to take the next step. There are some things, like the stars, that we can see better in the dark.

From the book:  God Grant Me....
