"Never fear the shadows. they simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby."
~ Ruth E Renkel
"Light comes to us unexpectedly and obliquely."
~HM Tomlinson
It's easy- too easy- to forget what matters the most. We get caught up in the drama and difficulty of daily living and lose track of our values and our faith. And losing track of these things we become lost ourselves, and carry around a certain burden of desperation. The goodness and quality of our lives become suddenly suspect and we are dis-satisfied and unhappy. Fear controls us and dictates our path.
And then, something reveals itself to us- some beauty or truth or remembrance, and we are restored. We see again, and trust again, and are full of love and vision again, and intuitive knowledge about the grace of our lives.
When I am plagued by darkness I hold on and look forward to the return of light that always comes.
